L'Unité - BOW HUNTING GUNS, WITH RECOIL AND MANEUVER ROPES
Head (ship's toilet) - From the site : Naval History and Heritage Command
" The use of the term "head" to refer to a ship's toilet dates to at least as early as 1708, when Woodes Rogers (English privateer and Governor of the Bahamas) used the word in his book, A Cruising Voyage Around the World. Another early usage is in Tobias Smollett's novel of travel and adventure, Roderick Random, published in 1748. "Head" in a nautical sense referring to the bow or fore part of a ship dates to 1485. The ship's toilet was typically placed at the head of the ship near the base of the bowsprit, where splashing water served to naturally clean the toilet area ".
Fellows, can you imagine the comfort in using the heads, considering bad weather , rain, snow, and splashing water ???

Luiz,
Such a fantastic build! I'm getting ready to start the AL HMS Surprize in 1:48. I've been sitting on this kit 10 yrs I think. You have set the bar very high here! Hope I can do it justice!

Absolutely, Dale. The 1/48 scale, for me, is the best to work with. It allows you to shows a large number of details and still results in a final model size that is possible to keep at home, ( If your wife allows it ! ! ! ).
