Onni Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Main mast in place. Giving all the masts a small tilt/rake backwards as I believe she had them that way. Behind the main mast is the skylight to the boiler room.Soon we will have steam power! exwafoo, John Zuch, Bernard Kelly and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onni Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Funnel with smoke in place together with the bridge. Foremast fixed and rigging tied down. Just the bowsprit left and she's ready to be corked. James w rogers, JesseLee, Bruce Foxworthy and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onni Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 She's ready. Took some photographs outside in the natural light. Painted the knot red but then got inspired to make a red,white and blue theme with stars on the stopper. The anchor with a line under it on the bottle top, is a nod to the Davenport crockery found at the wreak site. Hope you like it.

I have lifted it from the Swedish ships in bottles web site. I think I posted a link to it before but anyway here it is again : http://www.flaskskepparna.se/bygga/bygga valknop.htm It's not that difficult to follow the instructions, as the pictures really are pretty clear and easy to follow. (Don't ask me to translate!)😎 Sorry to be so late in replying. The Swedish site is a good read, and there is an option to see it in Swedish or English before discovering the toggle, which for me is in the bottom of the page on the left, I had learned/deduced some useful Swedish maritime words Lovely build, Onni, and thanks for the warts-and-all basis. It gives me heart to proceed and maybe air my efforts. andrew Onni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
