Canute Posted January 21, 2019 #1 Posted January 21, 2019 A question about the hull planking of harbor barges. They are basically rectangular, slab sided vessels with some sloping of the bow (?) and stern areas from the deck to the waterline and down to a keel. Would the planking across the slanting bow/stern areas overlap the boards of the sides or would they be interleaved? The 2" x 6" scale boards (planking) are glued onto a plywood former. I ask as I have an old Sheepscot Scale Products kit of a pile driver on a barge. Pictures are too small or grainy, even with extra light and using my Optivisor, to tell what the configuration is. Just gathering info for a future build.

kurtvd19 Posted January 21, 2019 #2 Posted January 21, 2019 In my experience I have never seen any thing other than the planks overlapping the side planks. Many times there are reinforcing boards at the edges - sometimes on both surfaces. Hope this helped.

Canute Posted January 22, 2019 Author #4 Posted January 22, 2019 Kurt and Patrick, thank you. I planned to have the bow planks overlap the side planks. Your info validates my plan. The kit is more into the pile driver appearance versus a built up hull. mtaylor and Baker 2 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
Deperdussin1910 Posted January 22, 2019 #5 Posted January 22, 2019 I like your project! I have a stalled model of a pile driver on a barge. Canute and mtaylor 2 "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."
