The Rigging of Ships: in the Days of the Spritsail Topmast, 1600-1720
Customer Reviews:
Are you interested in all aspects of Square Rigged Ships?
By Conrad B. Senior - March 8, 2000This book is actually written by and for model ship builders. I gave it a 5 star rating because of the difficulty finding information of this nature. It is somewhat dry reading, but the diagrams are for the most part clear. Some of the whole ship detailed drawings, lost something in the reduction and are difficult to read. Much of the information here came from the authors detailed study of the St George model as well as impossible to find rare book references from the late 1600's.I love every aspect of sailing and I'm particularly interested in learning whatever I can about how ship- rigged boats were actually rigged. This book provides some great information on the terminology of the complicated rigging of these vessels, as well as some of the construction details of the spars. In it you will find information on spars, proportions of the same, standing rigging, and running rigging, and the spirtsail topmast (which went out of use after 1720). If you are... read more
Hard-To-Find Information Now At The Tip of Your Fingers
By Mark A. Savage - January 22, 2001In another review, I said that one needed 3 books as a foundation for the hobby of model ship building. Oops, I was wrong. This is number 4!Since I'm building a model of the Mayflower (1620), this is the book that has all the answers for all the questions I have. From mast tapering, angles, and length, to rigging hints and methods. This is the square riggers handbook. There is a ton of information, yes covering 1600-1625 period ships. Although there is more for the later part of the title, not to fear, the early part of the title is very well covered.Despite the hard to read (and messy) illustrations, and weak reductions of original materials, the content of the book requires it get a 5-star rating. Even the dated language doesn't matter. Move past that, and the knowledge is abundant.If you're not a modeler, and a fan of square rigged sailing vessels, then this is the book to learn how they operated. Very thorough in it's coverage of all the aspects of the vessel's rigging... read more
argh, title?
By D. Zucker - July 15, 2005The bad: it's assumed you know the terms for all the rigging etc. Such terms as cro'jack, leeches, single whips, tackle pendants, etc are undefined in the text, and there is no glossary. The 24 plates, detailed drawing of models, drawing, rigging guides, etc, some with pages of keys, are all so small to be virtually useless. The book would need to be several times larger, with plates extending over many pages, to be able to differentiate the various lines shown. No guide is given showing a generic sail plan (I'm used to a course, lower top, upper top, top gallant; a different method of naming sails than in this book). I found google a necessary accomniant...
The good: In a dry language, there is a detailed explanation of every line, where it starts, goes, and ends; rough timelines of when various nations felt the need to completely change how that line ran; discussions of various ships, estimates of how accurate various sources are. You will find more than enough material... read more
