Art of period shipbuilding


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Construction of a replica of the 17th century ship De 7 Provincien  has a long history.

Works started in 1995 in Batavia Werf in Lelystad but due to severe technical problems that work was completely wrecked.

In 2008 again started the construction of the ship but in 2014 work stopped because to lack of funding.

It also looks like there's a few steel beams and frames... although those might just be jigs.

Hi,

Masts.

Masts on boats and small ships was made from single timber (pine or spruce).

On larger vessels masts was assembled from few timbers for

obtain required diameter as also reinforced by external woods

named fish.

The fish was installed on front or/and on sides of masts .

All this structure was hold together with rope wooldings or later with iron hoops.

Tops

The construction of platforms fitted on mast tops were changed during the centuries from „baskets” or round platforms with high guard rails up

to the end of 17th century. 

In 19th century tops was made as flat platforms supported on crosstrees.

Tops was used as access to topmast sails as also battle station for archers,

gun shooters or even small cannons.

Rigging

Standing rigging Part 1

Channels and chain plates

Channels was installed on ships from the end of 15th century up to half of the 19th century.

It was the place of securing the lower ends of the shrouds and sometimes the backstays.

The lower deadeyes were attached to the hull by iron chains or rods called chain plate.

Stays

Hemp ropes.

In period of use hemp ropes main stay was the thickest rope in ship standing rigging. Formula gave by Wolfram zu Mondfeld in “ Historic Ship Models” says:

For modelers purpose diameter of main stay is determined as 0,166 of

the diameter of the main mast at the deck.

Diameters of other ropes in standing and running rigging are proportionately smaller.

Is there a rule/formula to give the number of shrouds required for any given mast? I'm looking at illustrations of HM Lady Nelson and a contemporaneous model on NMM clearly shows five including a possible backstay whilst an engraving at about the same period seems to indicate seven with possible backstays included.

Hi Rick,

The shrouds was installed as pair of ropes.

Number of pairs of the shrouds depend of period and vessel size as also of vessel origin.

The number of pairs of the shrouds increased over the years from one to three pairs in the 14th century to 12 and more in the 15th and 16th centuries. On some ships were installed even 18-20 pair of the shrouds.

At the beginning of the 17th century number of pairs want began to be reduced and for the largest ships amounted to 9-11 on main mast, 8-18 on foremast and 2-4 on mizzen.

 Wire ropesi in running rigging was used on beginning of 20th century.

In such period was constructed the last cargo sailing ships famous Windjammers.

Wire ropes was used as halyards, yard lifts and brass.

For their winding serve special winches with hand power or even steam power.

Wire ropes was also used for “standing" parts of running rigging e.g. pendants.

Rope belaying

Small size ropes are belayed with belaying pins, which are plugged into pin rails.

Pin rails can be situated on bulwarks on the ship side or made as the fife rails

around mast.

Belaying pins are made of wood or metal.

On the ship is used one only diameter of pins with diameter is of thickest rope used in rigging.  

Excess of belayed rope is coiled and hanged on the pin.

Ropes with bigger diameter are belayed on cleats, kevels, bollards or riding bitts

Cannon tackles

 

Guns placed on  guns carriages  were equipped with tacks enabling them to

 go back for loading  - train tackles, and return to the position for a shot –gun tackles.

The breeching it was thin rope seized to the cascabel or to the gun carriage.

Purpose of the breeching was to absorb  the recoil of the gun when it was fired.

Pivot guns was equipped with tackles for change it position.

Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your kind words about my work, but my stock images on ships and their construction is limited and not very long runs out.

I had a dream…
Because I see that collect photographic information on this subject can be interesting and useful to propose joint creation

 ShippediA The Free Encyclopedia period ships and their construction

Many of us live near  where the maritime museums and museum ships, and can take pictures of interesting passages in their construction and equipment, maybe they want to share them with our community.

What do you think about this proposal.
