Hi!
I love the old BBC TV series 'The Onedin Line' from the 1970's and wish to scratch build a model of the 'Charlotte Rhodes' the 3 masted topsail schooner with it's reddish sails from the series.

Does anybody have plans of it or information on another ship of this type to modify?

I would like to build it in the scale of 1:64 and also complete it's interior correctly.

Alas the original ship was destroyed by fire in Amsterdam back in 1979.

Best Regards, UrkerVisser
 
Well that's interesting but 52,50 € is very expensive for only these 5 pages which lack of adequate detail or measurements. But maybe I can find another 3 masted topsail schooner to go by and then modify.

But she does looks rather short and wide (smaller than the 'Bluenose') and has a steep bow line.

Interesting also is the fact that her after and middle masts don't reach fully down towards the keel like the forward mast.

I also know she was fitted with a 200 HP motor at some point surely after 1904. Maybe her masts were compromised for this and perhaps may have worsened her storm damage in 1975?

Best Regards & Happy Easter!

I have just watched the full series of the Onedin Line .. most enjoyable
I am sure the Charlotte Rose was a re badge ship
There is a Facebook page on the series with some suggestions
