Great looking ship models!
Speaking about whaleback style ships, has anyone built a model of the great lakes whaleback grain/coal carriers? hey were common from 1890's to 1920's I believe. There is a full size one preserved at Duluth Mn as I understand it. Always been interested in them. I think the theory was that in heavy weather on the great lakes they would shed water coming over the decks to reduce risk of capsizing. Several did wreck anyway though, so not a perfect theory I guess. The power of great lakes weather should not be underestimated, especially on Superior.
tghs:
hopefully some pump parts today,, yes I have seen several great lakes whaleback freighter models,, kind of like building a civil war monitor, almost sunk to start with..
