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.

Linklog (Chris Lightfoot): BBC: Sunk Falklands ship safety 'poor'
Plane too close to ground, crash inquiry told. Actually (I hadn't realised before I read it, it's not obvious from the headline) somebody's got some interesting new information about the sinking of HMS Sheffield under Freedom of Information. Characteristically, the BBC don't bother to link to it.

The name "Carrack" has been given to a variety of ships and by many students is considered to be derived from fourteenth century boats of modest size.
Evidence is conflicting as to when a Carrack ceased to be a single master; and whether the fore or mizen mast was added first; however, for the present purpose a Carrack can be considered as a three-masted ship.
Great depth was a characteristic hull feature associated with full bows, a well-rounded stern and carvel planking, wales, and vertical skids or rubbing strakes to protect the hull when alongside a wharf, or when heavy weights were being hoisted inboard.
The hull of the waterline model Carrack is typical of fifteenth century "round ships."
Towards the stern, slung between two of the sliding shutters that give light and air to the cabins, is the "steep-tub" in which salt meat was placed to soak in rain water, and into which the cook's "shifter" got bodily, trampling the salt out of the victuals with bare feet before removing the day's rations with his flesh-fork.
Besides an architectural arrangement of cabin lights, the stern shows two built out "garderobes," between which is a stern galley.
