Bruce Posted September 28, 2024 Report Posted September 28, 2024 New to the website- have just built my first ship. HMS Euryalus (Trafalgar and a prison hulk at Chatham, for boys below 14 from 1825.) my wife’s 3rd great grandfather, William Atwell, was incarcerated before being transported to Australia in 1837. I clearly have a lot to learn. Used American walnut, Huon pine, and cherry for the hull. Brass welding rod for cannons. Looking forward to doing better on the next one. Approx 9cm long 4 Quote
Onni Posted September 28, 2024 Report Posted September 28, 2024 Welcome Bruce. It’s a ship and it’s in a bottle! That’s how it begins. Your first effort looks way better than mine ever did. Onni. 1 Quote
