Heads for the Mayflower

[Jake Groby]

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.

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.

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 .
