Don Case Posted February 10, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2021 I got my Langridge so now I'm trying to apply the knowledge to my tentative build. I'm looking at a scantling list that someone(sorry) posted a link to the other day. It lists ships according to number of guns. The Discovery had 10 guns apparently. I've seen it called a Sloop of War, it was converted to a bomb ship and was about 100' long. Oh, and it was 300 tons. That narrows the scantling list down to 3 columns I think. Sloop of War, 300 ton sloop and a Bomb vessel. So if I picked a column would I be fairly safe as to sizes of stuff?

Don Case Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted February 11, 2021 There I go going off half cocked again😳 Seems the older I get the less tolerant I am of perceived hassles. I apologise for that and I'll try to control it in the future. I found Dave Steel's Elements and Practices in free E-book on Google books. It's the 1812 version(if there is others), will that work for late 1700's? Is Google books on the bad list? I now have Longridge and Steel. I think that if there is anything that I can't find in those two I'll just guess at it. mtaylor 1 Quote HMS Discovery 1789 by Don Case - 1:48 - - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800 - Model Ship World™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
