wefalck Posted November 28, 2018 #94 Posted November 28, 2018 I am not commenting on the workmanship, it speaks for itself ... However, something looks odd to me - I am sure it is according to the plans, namely that there is a screw-well in front of the rudder, while this seems to be twin-screwed vessel. Such a screw-well would cause a lot of turbulences and cross-flows in front the rudder. Is there any rationale, why this was designed that way ? One explanation, I could think of myself is that improves the turning capability - for the same reason tugs had cut large openings cut into the 'dead-wood' in front of the screw. Any thoughts on this ? popeye the sailor, Mirabell61, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
popeye the sailor Posted November 28, 2018 #95 Posted November 28, 2018 perhaps it's because the screws are closer to the hull.......blade radius. the hull looks super.

Mirabell61 Posted November 28, 2018 #97 Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Wefalk and Denis, just a thought, could be that the outer propcircles (diameters) were overlapping a bit, like for instance the typical prop-arrangement for the KWdG, therefore the outcut window before the rudder heel. In that case there even had to be a staggered propshaft lengths, so that the circles did not foul each other within the "overlapping" area. It did not seem to be a handicap (Turbolences), because we know that the KWdG was the world fastest liner of around year 1900.... Here the scetch of prop arrangement... Nils note the different propshaft lengths, the prop circles are a bit overlapping within the centre window outcut area at the stern heel popeye the sailor, Bob Legge, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50

Any thoughts on this ? Hi Wefalk . Thanks for your rating. And answer your question. This screw-well by Russian ship builders was called "a deadwood window". At the beginning of the 20th century in the Russian fleet it was believed that this window improves turning effect of the ship. This window was made on many large warships. For example, on the battleship Retvizan, the cruiser Varyag, on five battleships of the Borodino type. However, this window did not always help. On five battleships of the Borodino type with the steady turn of the ship there was a big snap roll. Therefore, the windows were forced to close. No such effect was observed on Varyag.
