Ships boats

[Gunner]

Does anyone have a drawing of a Napoleonic SOL lowering or lifting a boat besides the one on page 173 of the Russian Warships in the age of Sail 1696-1860?

[Berthier]

The book Seamanship in the Age of Sail < Conway Maritime 1984 has a chapter on this, pages 282-288 followed by a chapter on man overboard. The pages are too large for my scanner, I'll try photographing them.

Whoa, thanks for posting that Bethier, that's something I've been wondering about too, and I'd never seen diagrams before. Very cool! - James

Great information Daniel.

Thank you for the info/visuals, Daniel. :thumbsup:

[Cmmdre]

Great illustrations. Thank you Daniel. Your post has clarified how the smaller boats are stored, loaded and unloaded on a ship.

[Sea Gull]

Wow, that's really detailed. May have to look out for that book. Thanks for the photos.

[Gunner]

Book looks good. Just picked one up on ebay.
Thanks Daniel.

Ed it's a great book on the technicalities of doing things with ships. From taking and laying out the anchor, to box-hauling, raising and lowering sails etc. A real gold mine for reference.

[Gunner]

Looking forward to it.
I just hope the way things are done are identified by the period or year.

Reading Moby **** as a kid is what got me interested in sailing vessels. I always wondered how a harpoon boat got into the water. Thanks for the info Daniel.

Thanks for the pictures. It would make for an interesting diorama/scene for boats going ashore (to bury treasure) or visiting a port without a functioning dock? :salute:

[Volunteer]

Wow! Thanks Daniel. I've read descriptions but a picture is worth a thousand words. I know what I'm going to do with my next ship now.

Its one of those books that should be in the bookcase of every AoS rules author (and well thumbed it should be - mine certainly is - one of the best purchases I've ever made)

[Green flash]

I was wondering about that as well,thanks

[Naharaht]

Thank you. That was very informative.

[Gunner]

It came in today. Great reference book. Thanks again Daniel.

If you ask a question here I am sure you will get a better answer than going on the internet. Great info.
