The Mighty Panokseon (Plank Board Ship)

[Na Daeyong's Apprentice]

The flipside of your conundrum regarding the lack of documentation on those oars is that it's extremely unlikely that someone will come along and be able to prove that you did it wrong. Take your most educated guess, dive in, and have fun with it. Good chance you are SoS' foremost authority on Korean warships.

From what I can tell, I might just be! (Cue “One” by Three Dog Night).

I realize that your interest is Korea not Japan and that they have totally different cultures and a sad history with each other, but maybe Douglas knows something useful. Look him up on the web.

Not necessarily! While certainly I am primarily interested in Korea from a historical perspective, Japan interests me as well, both in its interactions and connections to Korea and in itself. If this build goes well, I'm considering of having future projects revolve around the ships that fought in the Imjin War (1592-1598), which would include the Japanese ships of the era. But that's getting way ahead of myself.

But thank you for the recommendation. I found his website and have bookmarked it for further investation in the future.
