I am just curious - I am not sure, if the seamen used deadeyes to fix a boat on the deck - is it not "too much" for "only a boat".
But maybe - I am not a professional sailor......
Definitely it is looking very good

I agree with Uwe, I think it was in James Harland I read about this. He was talking about the boat that was lashed to the deck, the meaning of that is that there was use of a loop lashing to secure the boat. No blocks needed. Only rope and rings on deck. An example for such a lash you can find in the book of knots from Ashley. Like knot number 1514. But like Uwe also mentioned, we are no sailers and we can be wrong.
Hello guys. I have been looking for a boat mooring from that era for a long time. I didn't want to use a more modern solution. I found this binding in the book Prins Willem by Herman Ketting.
I'll admit it, it doesn't suit me at all. Fortunately, all you have to do is "cut" and replace...
The triangle deadeyes took a lot of work, but I'll keep them in stock, I made more..

You're absolutely right in this one. Lashed to the deck could also mean with a block. New to me. And indeed Herman Ketting gave a discription how it was done.
Secured a boat to the beams between the grating hatches and lashed with dead-eyes and rings to the shear poles.
Good research of you, and we learned something.
Better picture from Ketting

Sweet build!
Thank you very much The learner. Thank you for the like..
I'm continuing with the rotating chamber cannons on the railing, luckily there will only be four.
I found the current cannon in a book by Ab Hoving: Het Schip Van Wilem Barents and painted it.
Then the turning began. It is very small against already created cannons.
Created pockets for exchange chambers..
Of course, you need to start making a larger number, they slowly decrease during the work..
Added chambers..
Result OK..
I finished the swivel cannons on the railing..
I created new smaller chambers..
After blackening..
The last visible detail, the chamber pins..
The last parts of the hull, chamber guns, placed..
And now I can rush to the rigging!!

Thank you very much friends, I am trying my best..
Finally the main lower parts of the masts..
Temporary direction signs created for exact machining directions..
The tops are machined and holes drilled for the location of the lower tie-down points..
Finished lower parts of the masts..
(Manual dividing device)
Done..
Now tops and topmasts..
You seem to have a clever solution for every challenge. A manual dividing wheel!
Beautiful work indeed!!
