Wow! That is more models than I would probably complete in several lifetimes -- and all very well done! I have to confess that I did not know until just yesterday that Ragusa is the old name for the modern city of Dubrovnik in Croatia. The only reason I found out is because an old high school friend is honeymooning there. It's a beautiful city with a fascinating history.

Yes, that's the Italian name for it, and the name of the republic of Ragusa from the 14th to the early 19th century. It's apparently where we get the name "argosy" meaning a fleet - not, as I'd thought, from Jason's ship Argo.

 

A very nice body of work, GG. And the carrack is very finely done.
