Don Case Posted July 1, 2021 #1 Posted July 1, 2021 This is a piece of John MacKay's drawing of the Discovery 1789. Can anyone tell me what these(red arrows) are? They appear to be something on the transoms but only the two above the deck. HMS Discovery 1789 by Don Case - 1:48 - - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800 - Model Ship World™
Jaager Posted July 1, 2021 #2 Posted July 1, 2021 The distant inside the frames details are shown at that deck. This leads me to view the two structures in question as projections of the arms of those two transoms. Lower down, what and where those arms are does not affect anything important to any officers. The two objects in question are in officers' country and do affect someone important. mtaylor 1 NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Don Case Posted July 1, 2021 Author #3 Posted July 1, 2021 OK I can see that now. The diagonal line that goes from the wing transom up to the left(paralleling the counter timber) was throwing me off. I'm not sure what that would be either. Thanks mtaylor 1 HMS Discovery 1789 by Don Case - 1:48 - - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800 - Model Ship World™
Jaager Posted July 2, 2021 #4 Posted July 2, 2021 3 hours ago, Don Case said: I'm not sure what that would be either The stern at that level is curved. There is more that one counter timber. This is showing that the one(s) closer to the side also rest on this transom projection. mtaylor 1 NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.
