The Bloviator is the new Bomb Ketch of the French Squadron based in Port Brique in the South Pacifique. Bomb ketches are not generally described as ‘graceful’ or ‘elegant’, but this black hulled mortar vessel is a particularly ugly example. Her (...)

Ahoy again mates. My second go around at a ship, I was able to throw some ideas I had after I finished the Corinthian into this. I think it looks better not being as tall and being longer, but I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion as (...)
