Thank you very much for the words of support, my friend. Yep, it was a long haul, but I'm happy with what I know now. Sharing this with all of you was my pleasure and honor!
Thank you, Hans. You were often my soundboard throughout this almost one-year long "research ordeal", so I am happy to hear that you regard my hypothesis as plausible. If you can use any of the information I have posted in whatever shape, size or format, please feel free to do so with the greatest pleasure.Nice research, well done!
Reading through your work you made it very plausible that the ship could have been named Mercurius. But there are still many uncertainties, so the real name remains unknown and the name of Mercurius cannot be proven.
Unless of course the Russian researchers come up with an explanation why they are so sure about the name (but my guess is they don’t have the proof either).
Maybe I can do something with this information as an addition in the kit
Hans
Thank you so much for the kind words, Herman. I am very glad that you find my rationale plausible and logical. Now the focus will be on my finishing of the WB.
@Heinrich, I‘ve ordered a hardcover addition and I’m looking forward to reading it.
It’s also on Apple Books for those interested in an electronic version for an iPad reader.
I am very glad, Jan. It is an extremely easy to read, well-researched book. I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Thank you for that info, Roger! Despite knowing the journeys so well, I still found it refreshing and very worthwhile to read.
Great Ron! You will enjoy it!
Great photo's Heinrich,
I agree Stephen, the authenticity of his models is what sets them apart!
My friend I have a very nice birthday gift for you and for all our friends here on the WB build log. I am just waiting for one of our friends to do an exact translation for me and then I will post it.
