Maury S Posted March 13, 2019 #1 Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I'm looking for images of bilge pumps that may have been used on the oyster schooners of the mid 1840s. Oertling's booklet on Bilge Pumps omits any info. between 1790 - 1890. I've seen some double (metal) tube pumps in earlier years, but Chapelle's plans (yes, I know his deck arrangements are suspect) show a single "hole". Does anyone have any images or references that may help?

Maury S Posted March 15, 2019 Author #2 Posted March 15, 2019 I have received some comments from an informed source: " Bilge pumps for any mid-19th century fishing vessel were almost certainly log pumps – wooden pumps with wooden valves. " Very helpful. Maury mtaylor 1 Quote Current diversion: Anchor Hoy c 1815 - 1825 1:48 scale Recent Builds: Fair American: 18th C.
