Working techniques for model shipbuilding
Author: Robert Volk
Publisher: Verlag für Technik und Handwerk
ISBN:
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Robert Volk has already built several museum models and here he shares his wealth of experience with all ship model builders. Using the example of a pilot schooner in 1:50 scale, the construction, divided into individual sections, is described in detail: From the hull to the rigging, from the steering wheel to the fresh water barrel, nothing is missing that makes a perfect ship model. The reader is introduced to a wealth of different working techniques, receives useful practical tips and even finds a German-English dictionary of technical terms. Together with the many extraordinarily detailed drawings by Peter Davies-Garner, a compendium has been created which is also valid for other similar ships and which one therefore likes to consult again and again. A self-built model in museum quality? – With this book it becomes possible!

At the Point of a Cutlass
Author: Gregory N. Flemming
Publisher: ForeEdge
ISBN: 1611685621
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
A handful of sea stories define the American maritime narrative. Stories of whaling, fishing, exploration, naval adventure, and piracy have always captured our imaginations, and the most colorful of these are the tales of piracy. Called America's real-life Robinson Crusoe, the true story of Philip Ashton--a nineteen-year-old fisherman captured by pirates, impressed as a crewman, subjected to torture and hardship, who eventually escaped and lived as a castaway and scavenger on a deserted island in the Caribbean--was at one time as well known as the tales of Cooper, Hawthorne, and Defoe. Based on a rare copy of Ashton's 1725 account, Gregory N. Flemming's vivid portrait recounts this maritime world during the golden age of piracy. Fishing vessels and merchantmen plied the coastal waters and crisscrossed the Atlantic and Caribbean. It was a hard, dangerous life, made more so by both the depredations and temptations of piracy. Chased by the British Royal Navy, blown out of the water or summarily hung when caught, pirate captains such as Edward Low kidnapped, cajoled, beat, and bribed men like Ashton into the rich--but also vile, brutal, and often short--life of the pirate. In the tradition of Nathaniel Philbrick, At the Point of a Cutlass expands on a lost classic narrative of America and the sea, and brings to life a forgotten world of ships and men on both sides of maritime law.
