Hello Oliver
Thank you very much for the link it looks very interesting and also has the advantage of being able to download a free copy so I can evaluate it prior t buying. I would certainly buy it as I'm of an age where I find having a physical book in my hands much better.
Thanks again
Allan

I agree. I work only with books in my hand. My "first aid" library always on my side !

 

[Uwek]

Not sure were to past this but I would really like some advice. Can anyone suggest a book that is in English and won't break the bank that gives the basic names and descriptions of the parts or of 18th century ships( ribs, knees, escutcheon, .forebitt et al. If it also includes rigging it would be a real bonus

One of the most important books in english and showing english construction with a lot of details is this one:

Thank you for the review
They're building a replica of this ship in the original town (if not the same shipyard) and basing it on the Canadian archeological survey, investigation and thorough documentation of the remaining pieces of this ship-which is also in these books.

Very good, that you decided also to buy the "new" set of the 74-gunship drawings (which were made later than the four books)
A very good addition to the four volume set of the Boudriot books.
Did you also order the really new sail drawings?

So you got post from the museum? Great
Which 74-gunner is it? Is it a captured french one? Or pure english?
But I guess a french Temeraire class

 

[Olivers Historic Shipyard]

Yes @Uwek, you are right. This is a captured Temeraire-Class, the Le Tigre. The quality from the plans is abolutly fantastic.
