3DShipWright Posted September 16, 2023 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2023 Hey everyone, not sure if this question belongs here or under the general research tab, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the beams that support the boats (highlighted in the screenshot)? I'm guessing these had to be removable to load up the hold when in port, but what prevents them from shifting side-to-side? The holsters (name?) at each end don't appear to have a way to 'clamp down' so to speak... Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! -Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution druxey Posted September 16, 2023 Solution Share #2 Posted September 16, 2023 Skid beams. There were fore and aft holes through the 'U' portion of the iron supports with a retaining pin on each end of the beam. 3DShipWright, Bob Cleek, mtaylor and 1 other 3 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
