rcweir Posted January 27, 2023 #1 Posted January 27, 2023 What's the right shape for the deadeyes in a mid-17th century Dutch ship? The written references I have don't say. The plans I have of ships of that period all show round. The Wasa (1628, and not Dutch but also not English) has triangular. And, from what I can tell by pics on the web, the replica Batavia (same date as Wasa) has triangular. Apologies if this question has been asked here before, but I didn't find that it had been.
