Old Time Ship Models
Unlike most hobbies, ship model making requires few expensive tools.
Almost every household, no matter how small, harbors the beginnings of a fine model maker's tool kit.
The rest can be made,improvised, and bought as the work progresses.
Most important of all tools to the maker of ship models is his knife.
It may be anything from an inexpensive pocketknife to a high-grade wood carver's tool.
Price and handle style are unimportant as long as its blade is keen and has the quality of taking and holding an edge.
Naturally some simplification over the methods adopted by highly skilled professionals is essential, but, if the methods described are carefully followed in a common-sense way, there is no reason why the results should not in every case be highly gratifying.
In conclusion, a word on the thorny subject of accuracy in detail: much has been said and written on what was and was not done hundreds of years ago, suffice it to say that, at the best, the contemporary evidence is meager, much of doubtful authenticity; nor is every old drawing or print necessarily correct in every detail.
The Author has therefore endeavored to utilize what appears to be the most reliable and probable detail, and leaves it to others more skilled and experienced to determine the correctness and precise dates of individual features, hoping that he will be tenderly treated by those competent to criticise, who may perhaps be reminded that the book is an attempt to explain how to make old ship models, by one who has had many years' practical experience.
The methods described may not be the best, they certainly are not the only ways, but incontrovertibly they are practical ways; a statement that is substantiated by the three models which are specially dealt with in this book. These were made from the instructions in this book by amateurs with little previous experience, and it is their efforts that largely form the subject of the numerous photographic reproductions of the work in progress.

English ships also flew the Red Cross of St. George on the Fore Top, Scottish ships wore the white Cross of St. Andrew on the Fore Top.
At the death of Charles 1st, the union with Scotland was dissolved and English ships flew only the Red Cross of St. George.
In the time of Cromwell the union flag was restored with the Irish harp imposed upon its centre; Charles 2nd, removed the harp and the original union flag was restored and remained so until 1801 when the Cross of St. Patrick was incorporated, and the Union Jack as we know it to-day came into being it is flown on the Jackstaff of every British Warship.
Also on warships from Tudor times until 1860 or there-abouts, a plain red, white or blue flag would be flown to indicate that the vessel came under the command either of the Admiral in supreme command (red) and usually in the centre of a fleet; or the vice admiral (white) the second in command and usually in the van; or the rear admiral (blue)-usually in the rear of the fleet.
