Jake Groby Posted February 3 #1 Posted February 3 (edited) I'm doing a build on the Trumpter 1/60th. Mayflower and I'm about to start some sub-assemblies and noticed that the model had no head. I did a quick search on the net and really didn't find much. One article stated they used a chamber pot(s). Does anyone know if the ship had a head for the bow? if so, any drawings could help, I'll need to scratch build one. Edited February 3 by Jake Groby mtaylor 1 Quote
GrandpaPhil Posted February 4 #2 Posted February 4 (edited) The heads (seats of ease) would most likely have been located on the head grating to either side of the bowsprit. The Mayflower has a similar design to my build, the Revenge. This is my head grating. The blue circles are approximately where I’ll be putting the heads on mine.

Knocklouder Posted February 4 #3 Posted February 4 Hi Jake, I wonder the same thing when I was building my Mayflower, by Amati. All I found out was they used chamber pots on the bow grating. I guess they sat anywhere from the ladder to the door, just guessing lol Now I don't have to ask Grandpa Phil what is "seats of ease" . Hope it helps . mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and Canute 3 Quote Start so you can Finish !!
