Not sure which Alan/Allan/Allen you mean. My apologies if it was meant for someone else......

I realize you are building a fictional vessel but as you are staying with the 17th and early 18th century, the carriages were bed type which were nothing like those for Armstrongs, and Blomefields. I only have a few pictures on my laptop while we are traveling so apologize for not being able to provide more information.

Assuming you want something from English ships circa 1650-1710


The carriage design below is from the HMS London wreck 1665 Carriages in 1725 were still bed type but a little different.

The Commonwealth barrel pattern would be most appropriate.

As to dimensions I have nothing specific but once you have the length of the barrel, be it the designated or the overall length, the carriage dimensions can be figured out pretty closely. I would be delighted to help as much as I can IF you wish.

Hello AlanKP69

Please accept my apologies. Of course I meant my esteemed AlanKP69. I just forgot the KP69. Mea culpa, sir.

Thank you for your reply, even though you are travelling. I didn't want to disturb your holiday either. You are right, I am building a fantasy ship. Of course, I want to incorporate as many parts as possible, such as the rigging and planking, that actually existed at the time. I was unsure about the guns. Especially as this gun carriage existed. I took the artistic liberty of using the gun carriages from 1780 onwards. I would say that the Athena survived into the early 18th century. This was because she was sailed by an excellent captain and crew, was always in absolutely excellent condition and was way ahead of her time. As a result, she sent many a pirate pack to Poseidon with bag and baggage.

I am always delighted that you give me such excellent support and that I can benefit from your wealth of knowledge. Thank you very much for your support.

Please excuse my poor English, but I can only communicate via the English translator. I speak and understand English, but I am absolutely terrible at grammar ... Thank you for your understanding.
 
Ahoy sailors,

Yes, you're right, without our wives we'd be poor. Thumbsup
No one to tell us,
- Why don't you tidy up?
- Take out the rubbish?
- like on the couch again?
-There's still so much to do. What are you doing ...??

All of this makes us smile and we always say: "Yes, my darling, it's done ... Because we'll do anything for a smile on our loved one's face ...

Remember: Happy wife, happy life ...;)
