History The U.S.S. Constitution, a three-mast frigate, is the worlds oldest commissioned warship. Built primarily with dense southern live oak, its hull was 21 inches thick in an era when 18 inches was common. Paul Revere forged the copper spikes and bolts that held the planks in place.
The 204-foot-long ship was first put to to sea in 1798 and its most famous era of naval warfare was the War of 1812 against Britain, when it captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five warships, including the H.M.S. Guerriere. It was during the ferocious battle with the Guerriere that British seamen, astonished at how their cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitution’s hull, cried out, "Sir, Her sides are made from Iron!" Hence, the nickname, "Old Ironsides."
The Constitution today is national landmark and is docked in Boston.

2 radio-controlled model tugs, 'Ayton Cross' & 'Brackengarth, on the water at Murdieston Dam, Greenock. 'Ayton Cross' has working lights and 'Brackengarth' working fire-fighting monitors. I was privileged to have a wee shot of sailing 'Ayton Cross'! Both models were built by a senior and very experienced member of Greenock Model Yacht and Power Boat Club.
When living in Lewes we drank at a wonderful little pub called the White Star. The owner, Marcus Warland, was a collector of White Star Line (briefly the owners of the Titanic) memorabilia. He commissioned me to build him a model of the Titanic for the pub. The wooden model is over 40 inches long and has working internal and navigation lights. The hull is made from steamed wooden planks with copper nails and the funnels are steam-bent plywood on wooden formers.

These colors and designs are Tudor, thoroughly researched by evidential written documentation and paintings of the period.
It is not surprising that I have been banned from many ship model forums because of the passion to acquire data and utilize it to its fullest extent. This is the price that is paid for accuracy -to not conform or yield . My models have been highly sought after and collected because of my penchant for detail.
I am first to state my works hold a small degree of imperfection. Not in the details, of course, but in the method of build. However, perfection is achieved because of raw diligence. To acquire data and utilize it to its fullest potential. This miniature, among those built, is evident of the process.

Two more films of my Titanic model showing the full sinking. Like the original the model stands on end and goes down vertically although she hits the bottom before she is fully submerged. I will now remove the lifeboats from the model and use it for a short film with a more realistic background. I could certainly do better with computer animation but the model is real and it has some of the character of the original which I think is important.

History: The name of the Cutty Sark tall ship comes from the short shirt worn by the flee-footed witch in the Robert Burns Poem, Tam o’Shanter. Designed by Hercules Linton in Dumbarton, Scotland, the Cutty Sark was launched in 1869.
The Cutty Sark was initially designed and meant for trading tea with China. Crafted to race across the globe to sack immense profits before other European traders, the Cutty Sark was built for speed. In the memorable race between the Cutty Sark and Thermopylae in 1872, the Cutty Sark lost her rudder after passing through the Sunda Straight and arrived in London a week after their competitor. What makes the Cutty Sark the hero of this race was that she continued the race with a makeshift rudder instead of putting into port for repairs, and in spite of that only lost by a week.
Inevitably, the clipper ships lost out to the more powerful steam boats, which were more reliable, and thus returned goods more consistently. The Cutty Sark won the reputation as the fastest ship in her size when she ran 360 nautical miles in 24 hours during a run for Australian Wool trade.
The Cutty Sark is the world’s sole surviving extreme slipper, with the majority of her hull fabric surviving from her original construction in the 1860s. The Cutty Sark is preserved as a museum ship in Greenwich, which is in south-east London.
Length: Hull: 212 ft 5 in (64.74 m).

The ship that became Mary Ann (or Mary Anne) was built in 1772 in France and the British captured her c. 1778. Her name may have been Ariadne until 1786 when she started to engage in whaling. Next, as Mary Ann, she made one voyage transporting convicts to New South Wales from England. In 1794 the French captured her, but by 1797 she was back in her owners' hands. She then made a slave trading voyage. Next, she became a West Indiaman, trading between London or Liverpool to Demerara. It was on one of those voyages in November 1801 that a French privateer captured her.

Brod koji je postao Mary Ann (ili Mary Anne) izgrađen je 1772. u Francuskoj i Britanci su je zarobili c. 1778. Možda se zvala Ariadna do 1786. kada se počela baviti kitolovom. Zatim je, kao Mary Ann, napravila jedno putovanje prevozeći osuđenike u Novi Južni Wales iz Engleske. Godine 1794. Francuzi su je zarobili, ali je 1797. ponovno bila u rukama svojih vlasnika. Zatim je krenula na putovanje u trgovinu robljem. Zatim je postala West Indiaman, trgujući između Londona ili Liverpoola do Demerare. Na jednom od tih putovanja u studenom 1801. francuski ju je privatnik zarobio.

Guerriere. It was during the ferocious battle with the Guerriere that British seamen, astonished at how their cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitution’s hull, cried out, "Sir, Her sides are made from Iron!" Hence, the nickname, "Old Ironsides."
The Constitution today is national landmark and is docked in Boston.
The Tennessee was completed after World War I and incorporated several innovations based on lessons learned from the British-German sea battles. The fore- and rear-sections of the hull were unarmored, allowing thicker armor on the vital central core (sometimes called "all-or-nothing" armor). In particular the deck armor was thickened to protect against plunging fire. The main guns could be elevated to 30 degrees (up from 15 degrees in older ships) to allow longer range firing. Large stations atop the two birdcage masts provided improved fire control for both the main and secondary guns.
Tennessee was at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941, and received several bomb hits. The damage was relatively light, with only two main guns knocked out of commission. However, she was surrounded by burning oil from the nearby Arizona and Oklahoma and it was nine days before she could be safely moved from her berth. The fires caused signifcant damage to the hull's integrity, and she was sent back to California for an overhaul.
Two overhauls in 1942 changed Tennessee's profile considerably. Large numbers of 40mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns were installed, and the superstructure was cut down as much as possible to open up their firing arcs. The 5" guns were removed and replaced with twin-mounted turrets, comparable to those on the newer battleships. Anti-torpedo blisters were added to the sides of the hull as well.
From 1943 to 1945 the Tennessee saw action from the Aleutian Islands to the South Pacific, using her guns to bombard shore defenses in preparation for invasions. On October 25, 1944, the Tennessee and five other US Battleships, four of them survivors of Pearl Harbor, intercepted a Japanese fleet led by the battleship Yamashiro. The American ships' radar-directed fire-control systems worked flawlessly - within half an hour the Yamashiro capsized and sank.
Tennessee was decommissioned in 1947 and scrapped in 1959.
