Hubac's Historian Posted August 27, 2023 #271 Posted August 27, 2023 Eric - she’s really coming along and your deck work is excellent! I would say that aft is a reasonable choice for a few reasons: While it’s not generally clear to me, here, if these exhaust pipes are just aft of a mast, then a forward-facing exhaust would “cook” the mast rigging. Also, ships generally sail into the weather, so aft-facing exhaust would minimize water entry in heavy seas/rains. EricWilliamMarshall 1 Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time.
Keith Black Posted August 28, 2023 #272 Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Eric, it depends on which direction the wind is blowing. if the open end of the stovepipe you've created were pointed into the wind it would flood the galley with smoke. It really doesn't matter unless you have billowing sails and in that case the opening needs to point towards the bow. Because wind will force smoke back down a stovepipe and for that reason most stovepipes are vertical with a cap. See the attached.

MrBlueJacket Posted August 28, 2023 #273 Posted August 28, 2023 I believe the smokestack, like funnels, could rotate depending on the relative wind. Nic Keith Black, Ryland Craze, Roger Pellett and 1 other 3 1 Quote
EricWilliamMarshall Posted October 19, 2023 Author #274 Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) A quick distraction: I’ve repaired a ship model. Here are some before snaps. Labor-wise, the missing copper plates (and the loose plates) was the biggest issue. She looks to be a kit but I couldn’t ID it. All I have is her name, Josephine and a city, Boston.

EricWilliamMarshall Posted October 19, 2023 Author #277 Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Also off topic: I attended David Antscherl’s and Greg Herbert’s workshop on carving. Also Had tour of the ship models at the Naval Academy (finest collection in the New World) as well as a behind the scene tour! I also stopped by the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and bumped into the author and ship builder Douglas Brooks who was kind enough to chat with me for a bit.
