Batavia: Deck beams

[RobbieZ]

I am building a model of the aft section of the VOC ship, the Batavia, I have most of the information I need for the build. However, can anyone please assist and answer one question:

What is the distance between the deck beams?

Thank you.

Are you speaking of the Dutch ship from 1628?   If that is the ship, there were several decks and each deck would likely have had different beam sizes and different distances between each beam.

 

If there is an inboard profile drawing or deck plans, these would show the beam sizes and spacing on each deck.  

 

An example is below.  It happens to be Antelope (50) 1703   You can see the beams in cross section so can determine sizes and spacing.

The Batavia was build in 1626.

Lacking better information, the beams in late 17th century or even very early 18th century ships should be reasonably close regarding size and spacing for warships.  For merchant ships, it may be a different situation.

Thanks all.

I found ihe information. The figures was "hidden" in the Dutch deck names.
