Louie da fly Posted November 18, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2020 Very worthwhile information for those of us interested in the vessels of this period. Interestingly, no sign of blocks with sheaves, just heart blocks. Which is strange considering that in the Mediterranean sheaved blocks go way back. As I understand it, this ship was Spanish, or possibly Basque. Surprising that the technology doesn't seem to have travelled from one side of Spain to the other. On the other hand, she has a parrel truck, which was a fairly recent development at the time. mtaylor, bruce d, tarbrush and 1 other 4 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Louie da fly Posted November 18, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 18, 2020 By the way, do you have the rest of the reports? Not sure if you haven't already got this, but there's a website that contains everything relating to this ship at https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/newportship_2013/downloads.cfm I have to say I don't agree with their reconstruction. The person who did it doesn't seem familiar with the proportions of carracks. bruce d and mtaylor 1 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
