Ca Constructing e ut Constitution n io o In 1794,n Congress passed the Act to Provide a Naval z Armament. This Actc gave the United States government permission to build sixo new warships and establishn what is now the United Statesn Navy. Ship designero Joshua Humphreys built Constitutions’s thull using a icombination of white oak and live oak. Live oakr is five times more dense (and therefore stronger) than anyu othert type of oak and is the “iron” in “Old Ironsides.” Youcc may not have live oak lying around your houseu today, butt youi can certainly try to put yourself in Joshua Humphreys’o shoes! Follow the directions and use ther provided templatesn to construct your very ownt USS Constitution! s Spar Deck n o Gun Deck c Materials Berth Deckn Orlopo Deck Hull, deck, and sail templates (provided) White Oak i Hold 3 drinking straws t Scissors Live Oak Colored pencils or crayons u Tape or glue a Hole punch, thumb tack, or paper clip C DIRECTIONS C e a1 Print out the hull, deck, and sails of your Constitution. ut n Cut outi the hull, deck, and sails (only cut along the solid lines).o 2 o z n 3 Using the photograph c of Constitution as your guide, color and decorate all the elementso of your ship (don’t forget then gun ports on the ship’s sides and Captain’sn cabin in the ship’s stern).

These holes will need tot be large enough to fit your straws through. u io r n Find the two sides of the hull and fold along the dotted lines.

Digital 3D Reconstruction of British 74-Gun Ship-Of-The-Line
DIGITAL 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF BRITISH 74-GUN SHIP-OF-THE-LINE, HMS COLOSSUS, FROM ITS ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS A Thesis by MICHAEL KENNETH LEWIS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Filipe Castro Committee Members, Chris Dostal Ergun Akleman Head of Department, Darryl De Ruiter May 2021 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2021 Michael Lewis ABSTRACT Virtual reality has created a vast number of solutions for exhibitions and the transfer of knowledge. Space limitations on museum displays and the extensive costs associated with raising and conserving waterlogged archaeological material discourage the development of large projects around the story of a particular shipwreck. There is, however, a way that technology can help overcome the above-mentioned problems and allow museums to provide visitors with information about local, national, and international shipwrecks and their construction. 3D drafting can be used to create 3D models and, in combination with 3D printing, develop exciting learning environments using a shipwreck and its story. This thesis is an attempt at using an 18th century shipwreck and hint at its story and development as a ship type in a particular historical moment, from the conception and construction to its loss, excavation, recording and reconstruction. ii DEDICATION I dedicate my thesis to my family and friends. A special feeling of gratitude to my parents, Ted and Diane Lewis, and to my Aunt, Joan, for all the support that allowed me to follow this childhood dream. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr.

The Twelve Apostles: Design, Construction, and Function Of
THE TWELVE APOSTLES: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND FUNCTION OF LATE 16TH-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS A Dissertation by JOSE LUIS CASABAN BANACLOCHA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cemal Pulak Committee Members, Kevin Crisman James Bradford Donny Hamilton Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 José Luis Casabán Banaclocha ABSTRACT The development of the Spanish galleon as a specialized warship took place in Spain during the 16th century. A series of prototypes built in Spain in that century incorporated concepts and technological solutions from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic maritime traditions, and became the basis for this new type of vessel. The Spanish galleon was designed in response to changes in Atlantic trade routes at the beginning of the 16th century when, as a result of Spanish transoceanic expansion, new and more specialized vessels were needed for both the coastal defense of Spain and its overseas territories, as well as to escort the oceanic fleets. In November 1588, King Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of 12 new galleons of 500, 600, and 800 toneladas, four ships of each tonnage, specifically designed as warships. These galleons were to replace the losses that occurred after the failure of the Spanish Armada against England, since the chronic Spanish shortage of warships was aggravated by the loss of some of the best naval units. This decision marked the beginning of the largest shipbuilding program attempted in Spain until that moment.

For those living and working in Boston, her black and white hull and raked masts towering nearly two hundred feet combine as a familiar, constant and reassuring sight where the Mystic and Charles Rivers join the harbor. Most assume they are seeing a ship that always has looked that way. Artists and model makers, however, tend to be more curious, to try and determine whether or not the ship had her current appearance at some point in the past, and if not, how she did look. What they soon discover is that, like most things in this world, the fabled frigate evolved over time, depending upon the use to which she was to be put and what the technology of the time offered. She began service bearing an allegorical figurehead above her cutwater, but it was lost in an accident a few years later. Her gun streak, over the years, went from yellow to white to yellow to white to red to white.

Profitability and Production of 19 Century Composite Ships: the Case Study of the Austrian Vessel, the Slobodna by Eric Rodrigue

Rodriguez 2012 iii PROFITABILITY AND PRODUCTIONOF 19TH CENTURY COMPOSITE SHIPS:THE CASE STUDY OF THE AUSTRIAN VESSEL, THE SLOBODNA Eric Rodriguez, BPhil University of Pittsburgh, 2012 The shipbuilding strategies of the late-19th century are defined by the adaptations and incorporation of new building materials that allowed for the specialization and near perfection of the sailing ship as a commerce vehicle. European shipbuilding industries began incorporating iron as a building material as its value became lower than that of timber. As the more affordable alternative, iron alleviated the pressures of decreasing timber reserves and the material’s growing value. Iron was integrated into merchant ships, creating larger stronger hulls and achieving faster freighting rates. The first iron and wood hybrids were known as composite ships, which increased the economic surplus of the industries due to low production costs and increasing efficient freighting rates.

Glossary of Ship and Boat Building Terms
SHIP AND BOAT BUILDING TERMS Glossary: A collection of lists and explanations of abstruse, obsolete, dialectical or technical terms. O.E.D. Reference Document: Modern Shipbuilding Terms F. Forrest Pease, J. B. Lippincott Company This glossary gives definitions of many (but by no means all) of the ship/boat construction terms the marine surveyor will find. They relate to the hull only and are mainly those that the author learned when he was an apprentice shipwright. They include some very ancient ones and a few that are now obsolete but were still in use, again, when the author was a shipwright. The glossary is not confined to words used on small wooden or metal pleasure boats as it includes words relating to the construction and survey of vessels built of other materials and also many words relating to the commercial vessels that come within the small craft definition such as barges, coasters, small bulk carriers, tugs and trawlers, dredgers etc. It is useful to include such of these definitions as are appropriate as an appendix to any report prepared by the marine surveyor for expert witness or other legal purposes. The reference document above gives a number of terms not found in this glossary as it is aligned to big shipbuilding rather than small craft. It is, nevertheless, a useful addition to the marine surveyor’s library. Where American terms are known by the author to be different from the British both are given. Words specific to frp boats, canal boats and ferrocement are given in other glossaries in the relevant chapters above.
