scratch built from model shipwright plans. Converted to steam in 1851.
Very nice work and a lot of hours on that, plus what's in the display case.
Skills I never had, or will have.
Love ships of that era, but have yet to build one. Spiling that rounded stern must have been a tough job!

Hi rocketman2000. After I due a little more work on the bow=that triangular exstetion of the top deck. I will marine epoxie the outside of the hull. At that point I am hopeing the rounded stern will be ridged enuf to hold it's shape when I cut it off at that verticul line, to remove all the decks, so that I can start working on the inside.
rocketman2000--here is a picture of the bow that I was discribing to you.
Interesting. Never seen a bow like that on a ship that early. Harbinger of future.
