I was lucky enough to book a 3-hour cruise on the Lady Washington next
month, a replica of the Lady Washington brig that was the first American
ship to visit the West Coast.

Sounds great!

Yeah, I’m really looking forward to it.

She is also currently starring as the Interceptor in Pirates of the
Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
I was wondering if there were any good sites on-line with plans for merchant
brigs. I was thinking about trying to build one between now and the cruise

I don’t know of any. I’d suggest working from pictures instead, I used
pictures of the HMBrig Supply when I build the
HMLBrig Demand. Given that
you have to end up straightening out a lot of the curves anyway, I’m not sure
that having plans on hand would make things that much easier. Although, of
course, everything might be labelled.

OK, that makes sense. I’ll probably spend a lot of time looking at the Supply
and Demand when I’m building.
Looking at the definition of a brig, am I right in saying that the BSB and RBR
are brigs? If so, that’s helpful as I was going to start with my second BSB as
my base and work from there...

and I’d also like to get a better idea of the name of the sails and such
before I go
aboard. I’ve been reading the trinity of Age of Sail nautical fiction
(Forrester, O’Brian, and Kent) but the names of the rigging and sails has
not really stuck in my head well. Thanks for any help you can give me!
|
There’s an informative page
here which has a
nice sail plan of a four masted barque. Just make allowances for the absence
of the two aft masts...
|
That’s exactly what I was looking for as far as the naming of things, thanks!
