the brig sail is the gaff sail aft of the mainmast. this was larger in comparision to the sail on the same position on three masted ships, and was also why this ship could keep her course closer to the wind then corvettes (3 masted ships of about the same size and hull dimensions) |

Looking great. Has anyone drawn the USS Constitution, USS Constellation, or HMS Victory? |

I really want to work on the American frigates but its quite daunting because I'm pretty new and there aren't many other sb sailing ships to steal parts from. maybe I'll start something next time I'm off and rowdy36 can post on it every day telling me stuff I'm missing or that isn't the right scale now that hes a professional Napoleonic drawer

There are various Ship of The Lines I still want to do, but I lack proper sources on them. |

Alex, which ones? I may be able to help you (and if not, maybe direct you to a helpful source!). |

Darth Panda did the Constitution some time ago, or at least had a WIP somewhere. You might want to talk to him to make sure he's not already completed it, or if he's still reserved it. However, somewhere about I've got PDF images of Howard Chapelle's line drawings of various USN ships. I also drew Confederacy in Sailbucket scale (twice Shipbucket scale). Just checking on my drawings, I've got: - The original 74-gun America gifted to the French (hull and sailplan) - Frigate Confederacy (hull and sailplan) - a number of boats from Benedict Arnold's Lake Champlain fleet (Loyal Convert, Cutter Lee, gundalow Philadelphia, galley Washington) - USS President class (waterline up) + builder's draught) - Constellation/Congress (builder's draught) - Skjoldebrand (builder's draught and sailplan, ship built for tribute to Algiers) - 1799 USN Galley (drawing) - USS Essex (sailplan and basic hull + draught) - 1799 Ship-of-the-line (draught; proposed but not built) - Periagua-rigged gunboat (drawing) - USS Oneida (spar and sailplan + hull) - USS Columbia/Java/Guerriere (draught; updated President-class) - USS Franklin (draught) - USS Columbus (draught) - USS Ohio (draught) - USS North Carolina/Delaware (draught) - Brandywine-class frigate (draught) - USS Hudson (draught) - USS Pennsylvania (draught) - USS Independence (as razee: draught) - USS Congress (1844; draught) - USS Albany (sloop-of-war, draught) - USS St. Mary's (sloop-of-war, draught) Most of the draughts are scans of two-page spreads, so there's an unfortunate crease down the middle. All of the draughts also show only the hull, nothing above the deck level in terms of masts, spars, or rigging. Most of the sailplans, by contrast, do not put much detail on the hull. If you're at all interested in sailing vessels, I *highly* suggest Howard Chapelle's The History of the American Sailing Navy: Their Ships and Their Development. All of the drawings above are scans from that book. Think of it as Friedmans for sailing ships. I only scanned a dozen of the drawings that intrigued me the most - there are probably a hundred or so I didn't scan out of the book. |

Well unless anyone has any major objections to how I've done anything here I might tentatively call it finished: ![[ img ]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/93700641/Rebellion%20in%20Paradise%20Brig%20mod4.png)
