MarkH Posted November 29, 2018 #1 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Hi all out there, my name is Mark Heiden from the Netherlands and new to this forum. Not new to shipbuilding. I have build several models from Building Boats like a “platbodem”, “zeeschouw” and the Bounty. i started about 30 years ago with a schratch build model from drawings in a book. It was originally plans of a vessel called “the royal ALbert” but it is modified to match parts from another model. I copied the drawings back in my schooldays and started building on and off. It is now slowly reaching its end with all the lines and runing gear etc. i have plans for the future to make something called ships camels but that is in a very early stage. I already looked around at the forum and saw many interesting things and hope to learn a lot here. regards, Mark Edited November 29, 2018 by MarkH Fernando E, BETAQDAVE, mtaylor and 2 others 5

ccoyle Posted November 29, 2018 #3 Posted November 29, 2018 Welcome aboard, Mark! Some of my forebears were Dutchmen from Gelderland. They emigrated to Nieuw Amsterdam around 1650, before the redcoats took over the place. I look forward to seeing your projects! mtaylor and Jack12477 2 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. - Tuco Current builds: Brigantine Phoenix

(aka Hurley NY ) Possibly, but most of the ones I am familiar with moved west either to Ohio or Ontario. Some of the ones that went to Ontario, presumably loyalists, eventually wound up back in the States. Couldn't handle the Canadian winters maybe? mtaylor, Jack12477 and BETAQDAVE 3 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. - Tuco Current builds: Brigantine Phoenix

flying_dutchman2 Posted December 1, 2018 #12 Posted December 1, 2018 Welcome Mark. Another Dutchman is always a good thing. Lots of excellent builders on this forum which is also the best forum this side of the universe. I am a Dutchman living in the US and built only Dutch ships mostly from the 17th century. Marcus mtaylor 1 Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
