(May 2005) Alisa Michele Steere, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. C. Wayne Smith A mixture of shipbuilding, architecture, and art went into producing the wooden decorative work aboard ships of all nations from around the late 1500s until the advent of steam and the steel ship in the late 19th century. The leading humanists and artists in each country were called upon to draw up the iconographic plan for a ship’s ornamentation and to ensure that the work was done according to the ruler’s instructions. By looking through previous research, admiralty records, archaeological examples, and contemporary ship models, the progression of this maritime art form can be followed.

    H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Exact scale model of the 100-Gun British Ship of the Line. This, the fifth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Victory, had three major battle honours. The first being the Battle of Ushant 1781, the second, the Battle of St. Vincent 1797 and the third, for which she is most famed, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805. By the end of the Battle of Trafalgar, there was not a mast, spar, shroud or sail on board Victory that had not been severely damaged, lost or destroyed in the conflict.

Slice the dowel (running with the grain), from a round at the start point of the taper to a square at the end of the taper. 2. Repeat this process so that the dowel runs from round at the start of the taper to an eight sided polygon at the end of the taper. 3. Repeat step two as desired so that the dowel runs from a round at the start of the taper to a 16 or 32 sided polygon at the end, of a diameter marginally more than that required.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Ships and Boats: Prehistory to 1840
    Ships and Boats: Prehistory to 1840 Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. Principally from the archaeological evidence, this overview identifies and describes pre-Industrial vessels (that is from the earliest times to about 1840) used on inland and coastal waters and the open sea, as well as ones abandoned in coastal areas. It includes vessels buried through reclamation or some other process: many of the most significant early boats and ships have been discovered on land rather than at sea. Vessels and wrecks pre-dating 1840 are relatively rare: the latter comprise just 4 per cent of known sites around the English coast. This guidance note has been written by Mark Dunkley and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed at HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by English Heritage March 2012.

Archival records mention the construction of these warships and naval dispatches report on their exploits. These warships were adorned with sculptures made by Canadian sculptors. However, the ephemeral quality of these sculptures and scarce documentation about their aesthetic appearance has resulted in an absence of scholarship on their artistic merit. The sculptures that adorned these ships were unique for every ship, with each sculpture made for the space it was meant to fill and to accommodate its viewing point.
