lmagna Posted May 7, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Yesterday I received the book "The Sloops of the Hudson River" by Paul Fontenoy. At first glance it appears that it is an excellent book for fans of these sloops or anyone wanting to model one, especially if their choice is one of the more refined designs in the early or mid 19th century. It has 16 foldout pages of plans and diagrams of various sloops with many of them containing enough information to allow the building of a model. It appears that a fairly large portion of the book is devoted just to the Experiment. If you don't already have it you might want to find a copy. It was not all that expensive for a practically new looking copy. I have not read it yet so I cannot speak for Fontenoy's presentation or knowledge of the subject. Even if I had read it, I would probably not be able to comment on the latter anyway as my knowledge on Hudson River Sloops is also quite limited. The reason for the purchase in the first place. https://www.amazon.com/Sloops-Hudson-River-Historical-Maritime/dp/0913372714 Edited May 7, 2021 by lmagna Canute, catopower, mtaylor and 6 others 9 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
