bruce d Posted November 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) I found this, but irritatingly can't date it. Can anybody narrow it down? EDIT: pasted wrong text. Should read 'I found this but irritatingly can't date it. This page came from 'The Naval Constructor Simpson, 1865' but with no indication of how long the rules had been in place. Can anybody narrow it down?'

Have you, by any chance, any of the editions of Laughton, L.G. Carr Old Ship Figureheads and Sterns London: Halton & Truscott Smith, LTD., 1925? I believe there is a recent (2006, 2012) Dover reprint available. The 1925 editions are rather pricey on the second hand market ranging from $60 to over $400. There may be a bit more history in there. Good luck! mtaylor and bruce d 1 1 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
