    One of the BEST Wooden Ship construction books EVER!
  

*by F***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2016*

Do you want to know what the patterns are for nailing the planking on wooden ships? Read this book!What are the recommended sizes for ship timbers, ribs, spars, etc? Read this book!How long are the hand-bars on a ship's windlass?  Read this book.Where is the candle or lamp on a binnacle? Read this bookWhat kind of hardware is used above the waterline on wooden ships? (Iron, but read the book to understand why)What kind of hardware is used below the waterline? Read this book and you will know!How many openings are there on a gun port door? You will be amazed when you read this book!Although this book was written in 1933, the author spent years working on both wooden sailing ships and on wooden freighters (Yup, he worked on building the emergency wooden freighters in WWII.) A LOT of the information he obtained from old sailors, and drew on his own experiences as a wooden ship builder to describe how things are done, why they are done that way, and what things are important.Although this book takes you through the construction of just one built-up model, the author addresses thousands of questions regarding wooden shipbuilding, and the methods and techniques to construct them.The information in it is absolutely INVALUABLE in model ship construction.  For instance, what are the dimensions of the lines for the running and standing rigging? If you know this, you can apply the scale sizes to the proper parts of your model ship.One last question:  How could the helmsman on a sailing ship know the position of the ship's wheel in relation to the rudder? There are 2 ways, and both of them are very ingenious, very simple, and after being interested in sailing ships for over 40 years, I just found out how they do it! You can find out as well, if you read this book.

    If you're getting into or are new to ship modeling you should read this book.
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015*

I've taken the plunge into wooden ship modeling. This is an invaluable book with tons of helpful hints from an experienced modeler. I didn't realize until I read this book that the many of the models are essentially built the same way as real ships with the same parts and in the same order of assembly.
