Gregory Posted February 11, 2022 #2 Posted February 11, 2022 Goodwin shows a mouse on Alert in his AOTS.. He references a rigged model, Hawke, but I can't tell from the images if the mouse is on the model.. mtaylor 1 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon
Alex M Posted February 11, 2022 Author #3 Posted February 11, 2022 Hi Gregory, as far as I can see the Hawke does not have a mouse. mtaylor 1 Quote Current build: HMS Sphynx, 20 gun ship launched in 1775 at Portsmouth, Hampshire.

tkay11 Posted February 21, 2022 #5 Posted February 21, 2022 Sorry, @Alex M. Looking at my photos, if there was a mouse on the Hawke it was hidden by the sails. And I have no recollection of noticing one. An 1820 unnamed cutter clearly did not have one. But a cutter from 1763 did have one, as did the 1790 Trial. Of course, these were just contemporary models and just a tiny sample, which may not be definitive, but it seems the practice varied.

Alex M Posted February 22, 2022 Author #6 Posted February 22, 2022 Thank you Tony! If you mean this Cutter: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-66471 , it is not contemporary, but build ca 1940.

tkay11 Posted February 22, 2022 #7 Posted February 22, 2022 @Alex M: All of the model photos I showed from my visit to Chatham were contemporary. The one you linked to wasn't one of them.
