lionfish Posted October 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2015 ive been trying to figure out what anchor would be accurate for the bounty, the whats used is the standard curved, however the anchor that was raised and on display in Pitcairn is Spanish style. also what was included in the kit was kedge style. so needless to say im confused and cant find any reliable info on anchors the bounty carried. im tempted to use the spanish style because thats what was supposedly raised from the wreck.

shipaholic Posted October 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2015 Hi I looked up the pic of The Bounty anchor and it looks like a typical admiralty design from that period, it is missing the wooden stock that it would have had. With the stock It would have looked very similar to this one from the HMS Sirius from the same era Cheers Steve aviaamator, Canute, robin b and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: HMB Endeavour 1:51 (Eaglemoss part work)Previous Builds: USS Constitution (Revell plastic) HMS Victory 1:96 (Corel) HMB Endeavour 1:60 (AL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordkapas Posted December 20, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 20, 2019 Thank you very much Gregory but if I print the image I cant scale properly. If you have the original, can you give me the general measures only the main anchor? I'll be very thankful. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted December 20, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 20, 2019 I sure will .. Later today.. Sorry, I didn't think of that when I posted..

Gregory Posted December 20, 2019 Share #9 Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Here is the actual drawing with a ruler overlayed. This will not print to actual size. I will send you a PM with the image that should print to actual size.. It looks like the Bower Anchor is about 75mm at 1:96. PS As we discussed in our PM exchange, I think this scale - 1/96 - is off.. Seems off by maybe a factor of 2, and is actually 1:48 Edited December 21, 2019 by Gregory mtaylor 1 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake (Scratch From MS Plans On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant anyone tell the measurements of the real anchor ? I am making the Endeavour at 1:51 scale and I purchased a Caldercraft anchor which is 74mm long, about the same length that you need. The Caldercraft anchors are very authentic, they don't come with the hoops for the stock, I had to make them. I got it from Corwall Model Boats in the UK Edited December 21, 2019 by shipaholic Gregory and mtaylor 2 Quote Current Build: HMB Endeavour 1:51 (Eaglemoss part work)Previous Builds: USS Constitution (Revell plastic) HMS Victory 1:96 (Corel) HMB Endeavour 1:60 (AL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted December 24, 2019 Share #12 Posted December 24, 2019 Kapas The dimensions appear to match closely to Sutherland's Shipbuilding Unveiled for a 225 Ton vessel. I saved the image from Gregory above, inserted into a cad drawing, scaled it to the scale laid on the drawing that Gregory posted, then saved as a PDF and printed. Came out dead on and is 76.2 mm (3 inches). If you still need a drawing, please feel free to PM me your email address and I can email you the PDF which you can use to print the sheet on your home printer.

Tom P. Posted July 26, 2020 Share #14 Posted July 26, 2020 I just saw this post. This anchor seems to get around; sometimes you see it online displayed on Pitcairn Island, but this link is from New Zealand: https://www.nzmuseums.co.nz/collections/3358/objects/2240/anchor-from-hms-bounty The dimensions are listed as: 3800 mm x 2120 mm x 500 mm (LWD) mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
