Of course you fellas realize it will cost you $2028.64 to complete this project!

4.99 to start & 135 more issues at 14.99 to complete.

LOL

Cheers

I have thought of a radio controlled type with using 5/6 Ricard motors to winch different sail settings, a quick check - built in 1637 and accidentally destroyed by fire a Chatham in 1696.

I dunno, Ian, I just get that sinking feeling when I think of them

Love to have a museum of my own with all this stuff. Maybe the I could call it the 'smithsonian'

Strangely I did have a large fleet but nice peoples could not steal or sell them so they jumped on them and destroyed the many, this was the stage I thought of a "Ship of the Line" like the 'Sovereign of the Sea's' but lessor .. away from all that gold.

'Smithsonian' maybe close ... If I did have all I would have brought a bigger place.

So did the Titanic but both had assistance in that feat

Fire and Ice, and the pomp of the period, it is amazing the study of these type off ship the sail i mean, they did have plan's for them but were change during the build simply because the tree was a different shape ... was not till the later style China Tea clippers come out they had an almost example design , makes the old 1600/1700 century ship so unique.

It'll be like all the other books that have come out with bits to build something you'll get it half finished and they will stop the books. I've done this before twice half built models and, Oh sorry but were not continuing on with these anymore.

And of course 'Bismarck' sank HMS Hood...my late Dad was born in 1913, and a couple of days after he started school - 1918 - he saw HMS Hood being launched from John Brown's yard in Clydebank. The shipyard was barely 250m from the school, and when I was at the same school in the mid/late 1950s we could hear the riveting guns going all day. In 1941, Dad was on duty in Portsmouth Barracks when the news came through that 'Hood' had been sunk. This only came to light when niece Kate did a school project to ask the old'uns what school was like in their day. The casual aside in Dad's response enabled us to pinpoint the date he actually started school...
The 'Net can do great things like this - it is a tragedy that something like 80% of the content is wasted on porn.

Amazing Warship the Hood but very lacking, Mike, pleased you post your history, for some reason I study the class's and how they changed between the wars, as you well no when HMS Hood blew up is was in concert with the Price of Wales, ... course the photo is off the class the KGV , .. pleased there is interest and people wonder and ask questions.

Very Nice...
