I am building a model of the Brigantine Maggie Belle from plans I purchased from Philip Eisnor in Nova Scotia. I have been following the plans and I am ready to fit the deck houses. My problem is tye plans show the forward deck house as being aft of the foremast. However I have two photos aledged to be of the Maggie Belle that show the foremast as coming up through the top of forward deckhouse. I have seen plans of brigantine with the foremast forward of the deck house and others with the deck house at the base of the foremast.
I am wondering if I should follow the plans or follow the photographs?
