Hello there Ab!
This is very interesting to follow. Such deep insights into the history of ship building from simple boats to the great ships of the line - and so many dark holes where knowledge is missing! I am very interested in these topics and will follow this report with great interest and joy. Can you describe a bit what this type of vessel was mainly used for? Was it a merchant? A fishing boat? A small military vessel? A transport? In which waters was it used? This all will probably have an impact on how it was build and how it was shaped?
The ship in the background reminds me of the Papegoian somehow...sorry I've got distracted...
Looking forward to the next posting!
