| Very nice! A little tall for my tastes but all round well done. I haven't seen many ships in blue and white for the original blue (french) soldiers. God Bless, Nathan (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Corinthian
|
| (...) Thanks. I had wanted to make a ship on par with others around (like yours for example) that I have seen for a long time, but I haven't had the time. I'm also happy to see that two masts looks good, I had been thinking of adding a third but (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | Re: The Corinthian
|
| (...) Nice work, Sean! It's great to see a solid vessel like this in .pirates! (And probably time to get the old spyglass out of retirement). Two decks is very cool indeed. And two masts, for a vessel this length is just right. Did you consider (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)

| Ahoy etc Although the longship is the iconic viking vessel, the knarr (or knorr) was generally the vessel of choice for trading. (URL) My knarr (or knorr) is shorter than my longship (only two hull centre sections). The rail is a perhaps fanciful, (...)
