Helli Posted May 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2020 Hello, I have a question. On the HMS Victory which shrouds are served? Only the first fore shroud, here i`m shure or the first fore topmast shroud and all fore topmast futtock shrouds. I can`t find any information how is correctly Cheers Helli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted May 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 30, 2020 Did you look at images on the Web ? OK, views of what VICTORY might have looked where and when are changing as research progresses (see 'dafi's' building log), but Longridge's book on Nelson's ships might still be a good starting point. druxey and mtaylor 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helli Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 31, 2020 Hi, I have a few hundred photos of the original in Portsmouth and also some books, including "The anatomy of Nelson`s Ship, Mondfeld ect. But alternative designs are suggested for many things. e.g .: Page 229 Page 230 This is then called "artistic freedom" But how it is "right" is not clear.

Bob Cleek Posted May 31, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2020 Until somebody cites a contrary authority, I'd say any shroud which might potentially be subject to chafe by a yard can be expected to be wormed, parceled, and served. These are generally the forward shrouds on each mast, at least as high as the highest yard. mtaylor and Jaager 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
