Well off topic. Thought I'd share pics of my small scale firing cannons - Page 2

Thanks FNORM. She is indeed a beautiful ship and we are fortunate that she has been preserved. Hopefully our government can find the money to bring her up to par and keep her there.

Okay, I said that I would post photos of the battle station when it was completed, so here it is.

Dunno about now. But during the overhaul, they re-installed the interior bracing, new masts, etc. so she could sail under her own power again. I think I may have seen that for the first time. As we took off, she was in the channel to the bay, sails set. What a sight!

Thank you Jerry. It was a labor of love, but I'm finished now and want to move on to different projects--turn the page.

Take care friend.

These are so fascinating to see. Would love to see in action. Great work.

Thanks Went. The cannon will never shoot. To prevent the temptation, I didn't drill the touch hole.

Take care.
