Yes. Pending their rebuild. They ended up too far under the pinrail. Nice eye for details Heinrich!
Wouldn't that be the perfect spot for the seats of ease? You already got pin for the role of toilette paper!That's what bothered me about them - they fact that they are underneath the pin rails.
No toilet paper. You wait for the perfect wave and voila: saltwater bidet...Wouldn't that be the perfect spot for the seats of ease? You already got pin for the role of toilette paper!
That is, if the wave doesn't buck you off the seat all together...lol...hard life trying to take care of business on a bucking toilet!
Is that why they call it shark bait?

Nope ... if that beakhead was immersed in the sea, the ship would have been in trouble ... that is what you had a "swabber" for - a rope with a loosely tied tussle that hung in the water. You would simply pull it up, give yourself an icy-cold, salt-watery wipe and drop the rope back down into the water. The saltwater did wonders as a disinfectant.
If they are, the Swedes have long butts...
I suppose if your dongle dangles that low, you COULD call it fishing...That is, if the wave doesn't buck you off the seat all together...lol...hard life trying to take care of business on a bucking toilet!

Yes, I stayed up late to fill Paul's log with toilet humor... butt I'm not alone.
Thanks, everyone, for the likes and encouraging words...as well as for the edifying primer on hygiene habits on the Baltic Sea in the 17th century!

One sailor said "Damn! That water is cold!" And his mate replied "Aye! And its deep too!"I suppose if your dongle dangles that low, you COULD call it fishing...

.... and there's me thinking that's what the poop deck is for.
Beautiful work - can't wait to see what you do with the rigging.
You and me both Donnie!
Actually that "swabber" is called in seamans Dutch "het allemans eindje", which translates to the all mans end, the end of the rope that every body used.
The predecessor of the wet perfumed toilet tissue.

You know…at that point I would have been willing to hang off the ship by a rope and get a power wash!Hi Jim

CLOSE THE GUNPORTS! CLOSE THE GUNPORTS!
You know how you set out to build something and you have this wonderful image in your mind of how it will all turn out - but then reality sets in and you end up frustrated 
, or angry 
, or stringing together profanities than would make a sailor blush 
...
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN TODAY!!!
Here are the stairs on the museum ship (well, at least you can get an idea of what I was shooting for:
And here is my interpretation:
Notwithstanding what macros uncover I'm super pleased with how these turned out.
There were some concessions to design (the DeAg anatomy in this area is a bit lacking) so as a result I needed to be somewhat creative in how these were configured (the most significant deviation was that I had to bring a step over to the doorway which inexplicably ended in open space...). Anyway, I believe I captured the spirit of what is seen on the mother ship.
I'm certain utter defeat is on the horizon - but today was a good day.
