It was pretty short alright. I have read much more in depth accounts but, as you say, this is a good basic summary for those new to the era.
I hope all has gone well for Mrs Bligh. Please pass on...

I can see them all. What an awesome experience Jonas! I am so envious!
Wow! Congratulations Jim on a well deserved promotion!
Sorry for the late acknowledgment, I haven't been getting Anchorage notifications for some time now.:drinks:
Rest in peace David, may your seas be forever calm.
It is absolutely awesome!
Pretty quiet on the boards the last few days!
Here is my slow progress on Bounty

Those Mars class from My Minifactory, are they from Age of Sail Minis Chris? The side by side boats remind me of the old Davco/Triton minis.
On the bounty I am using cloth. For my 1/1200 through 1/700 scale ships I normally use regular printer paper, but I recently used cloth on a few 1/700 ships. You can look back at the workbench posts...
The weather finally turned nice so I have been catching up on all of the needed work outside. So this is all I have been able to accomplish on Bounty's sails

Great AAR Paul and visually excellent!
Congratulations Paul on a well deserved medal!
Really nice ship Jonas!

I also printed out Henry's new baglah dhow, three ships in the file, two large and one small with sails.

Really nice looking fleet Roméo. I recognize the Warlord Games Black Seas named vessels there. I also like your use of the signal flags. Well done!
Paul, those Dutch Langtons are awfully pretty...
Today, while the wife is getting new countertops installed, I get to hide in the basement and work on Bounty!
Currently working on the upper ratlines. No jig for these, I'm freehanding them in...
That is a perfect way to transport fragile pieces Rob. Well done!
Beautiful fleet Paul! And I'm with you, rigging is my favorite part of a build.
Had to make a quick jig for the 1/190 scale ratlines

Looks really good Rob!
I am printing Henry's new 62 gun Ottoman today, both FDM and Chunky version, while I continue work on the Bounty.
