Shipbucket

Here's an update of the topsail sloop Friends Good Will which I drew nearly 2 years ago. The old topic and original drawings can be seen here.
I've been meaning to update this ship for some time now as the original had a large number of inaccuracies, (among them missing half of her running rigging! ) which have now been corrected based on photos and additional personal experience from crewing her.
As built in 1810:

As she participated in the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813:

Replica as of 2005:

New drawing of the replica as of 2013:

It really is a great little drawing and I hate to nit pick, but with respect, may I point out that her commissioning pennant flying from the mast head is blowing in the opposite direction to her ensign. One would assume they should be flying in the same direction?

Great drawings.

I’ve always liked that one. Nice and clean.
Which is to say forward…

Yes, but if they were blowing in the same direction, the ensign would not be seen, so I do an "artistic compromise" to show the ensign.
