Spaceman Spiff Posted July 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2013 There was a book mentioned in one of the threads (I know, I forgot to get the title) that I think was written by an 18th century seaman - kind of like a seaman's guide or something to that effect. I recall the thread said it is an excellent guide for rigging, etc. I apologize for not giving very much information but I have faith in the great people here! Any suggestions?

trippwj Posted July 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2013 There are a couple that come to mind - Lever, Darcy The young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor 1819 - available from Dover books Falconer An Universal Dictionary of the Marine 1784 - available on-line for download. You might also find it in the list here (which is slightly out of date now - will update by this fall). http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/21-nautical-and-model-building-resources/#entry54 Good Luck!

trippwj Posted July 18, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 18, 2013 Don - I have not had the opportunity to get the archives for the Ships in Scale magazine, but have heard some good things about it. You can purchase the entire collection for $39.95 plus $7 shipping at http://www.seaways.com/OSISCD.html 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...
