bruce d Posted October 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2021 This was produced by Sir George Augustus Elliot, captain of HMS Phaeton from 4 December 1849 to 25 January 1853. Phaeton was converted to a screw frigate in 1859: the attached piece is undated but was clearly written before conversion to steam. I found the section on the launching of boats and the equiping of armed boats interesting; I expect those of you who are better informed on rigging practice than me will get something from those sections as well.

BANYAN Posted October 8, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 8, 2021 Thanks for that document Bruce, quite pertinent to my build. I will have a thorough read of this as the Sail/Rigging section seems to have quite a bit of detail. cheers Pat thibaultron and bruce d 2 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
