How is the Pudding Spar attached?

[tsurfing]

Any thoughts on the attachment of the strong back to the radial davits on the Endurance? This was the ship Shackleton used for the 1914 Antarctic expedition.

Is it only lashed to the davit or is there a mechanical attachment?

I can't make it out.

I have a pic attached showing the area.

Thanks,

Terry

 

PS Posted this in General Kit discussion in an old thread. Thought it may get an answer here.

Thanks

          Plenty of discussion on this topic here. If you read my two cents you will see I am saying it's a lashing.  http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9027-puddened-gripes/

Thanks for that link.

I found a great pic of the Georg Stage that is high enough resolution to see clearly.

Awesome!

Tadeusz,

Thanks!

I think these will do the job. Now onto the Blender 3d to figure out how to recreate it.
