    Fred is right. The ships sat on 7 mats. I planned on table space for 8 to allow for a mat to move on to and worked out the conveyor belt tarp system. (Tarps were cut in half, then edged with tape...

    With your comments on size, I'm surprised you didn't mention the USS Pennsylvania (1837). (A little outside of the time frame, but still a wooden sailing ship.)
