Colleagues, we need help. Have the Baltimore schooners had quarters at gun ports?

Good Morning from South Carolina USA Alexander:
I am watching your progress with interest. Your drilling and pegging of the deck boards is well executed. Thank you for taking the time to make a record of your build so that others less experienced can learn from your efforts. Your work on the planking and keel is exceptional. Have a good day.

Марк, спасибо. Хорошо, когда есть польза от строительства. Мило. Я рада поделиться своими знаниями
Installed bulwarks on both sides. The material that I did not like in the set, so I will cover it with slats. The gun ports are curved and of different sizes. I will fix it.
Leveled the gun ports. I made inserts and sheathed one side from the outside. From the inside of the bulwark, I will also be sheathed with slats. The question arose: were the quarters at the gun ports on the Baltimore schooners?
Hello everyone. Work on the Albatross continues. Sheathed the bulwarks from the inside, installed toptimbers, barhout and gunwale. The gunwale had to be altered. In the set, it was proposed to make it a composite of two 2x2 mm rails. The aft gunwale consists of three such slats. I didn't like it, so I made it out of the whole rail that was left over from the skin. As a result, the gunwale turned out to be 1,5x5 mm in size and tselikovym. I had to really bend this whole rail on the edge, but the water and the iron did their job. The result is shown in the photo. The evaluation of my work is up to you colleagues
Дженнаро, вода, железо и мои руки. Ну немного терпения. Здесь главное не торопиться, иначе можно сломать саму рейку.
Beautiful clean work Alexander. You hull planking is fantastic.
Today I was engaged in reworking the steering wheel pen. Due to the fact that I replaced the keel and stem with a pear, then the rudder feather should be made from a pear. I sharpened a new pen, made some changes to it that look correct from a technical point of view. The steering wheel hinges also need to be changed, because they are VERY over-sized. The loops in the set are 3 mm wide, according to my calculations, 1.8 mm came out. All comparisons and changes in the photo. Enjoy all the simulation.
Отличная работа, коллега! 
Не хотелось сделать перо руля составным из нескольких элементов? 
Translated by Jim,
Great job, colleague! Didn't you want to make a rudder from several timber elements?

Здравствуйте, коллега. Такая мысль была изначально. Но концепция сборки этого набора не предполагает таких переделок (заказчик не готов платить за них). После яхты «СТАНДАРТ» он привез мне «ПОБЕДУ» от Деагостини и эту малышку в грузе. Я сдерживаюсь изо всех сил.Отличная работа, коллега! Не хотелось сделать перо руля составным из нескольких элементов?
Скорее всего сделаю имитацию (выделю грани в месте соединения частей)- Joined

Beautiful work! I wish I had your skills.
I love those topsail schooners, and am fortunate in that my wife and I will be sailing as part of a guest crew on the Pride of Baltimore II in June!

Thanks. I can build you a similar model if you want.
Continuation of work on replacing the hinges on the steering wheel. I made all the hinges and put them back in place. The width of the loop is 1.8 mm (the set was 3 mm wide), the nails are 0.6 mm in diameter
I made the response loops and installed the steering wheel pen in its regular place. I also made a tiller. The result is such a beautiful element
I started installing deck superstructures. He installed skylights, a gangway booth, and aft davits.
Continuation of the deck improvement works. Installed additional parts on the deck. The result is shown in the photo. There are tools left, but in a set with this complete disgrace, I will think about it. I didn't like the brass tiller, so I made it black. I installed the model on the stand that was included in the set.
He began work on the spars and rigging. I don't like the layout in the set. Therefore, I will do something in between what is depicted in the books "World of schooners" by Marquardt and L. Petersson "rigging of oblique sailing weapons". I made a bowsprit and an outrigger. On the bowsprit I added violins, on the uthlegar I added a pulley.
Colleagues, maybe someone has diagrams of the spars and rigging of the Baltimore schooners. The schooner "Albatross" is a kind of collective image, so the scheme from the set looks very sparse. Perhaps one of you could share with me the rigging diagrams of the Baltimore schooners of 1840 and close to these years.
