I am looking for a good book on the details of 18th century Swedish ships (beyond Chapman's two books and the photos in the digital museum). I am hoping for advice equivalent to Zu Mondfeld including:
Walings, anchor planking, nail patterns, rudder styles per time period, deck planking patterns (margin plank, joggling, waterways for different classes of ships/decks/time periods), binnacles for different time periods, capstan designs per time period, anchor designs, hatch coaming details, when composite masts are used, stunsail hardware details, ladder details, flagging, paint schemes, hull coatings, cannon types, carriage design, tables showing ships boats and anchor issuance for warships, sweep tables and design, etc. Rigging I can get from Marquedt.
That's my wish-list, anyway!
