The boom years of the sailing whalers were from the 1830s until the late 1860s after which steam whalers began to dominate the industry.'

The china tea trade under sail lasted only a quarter of a century, roughly from 1850 to 1875, yet the names of many of the ships are still remembered today. The most famous of them is undoubtedly the Cutty Sark, preserved in dry dock at Greenwich, the only survivor of the many ships that year by year, raced home to London, their holds packed tight with chests of tea.'

In post #6, the first photo, what is the purpose of having the sails on the mainmast back winded?

[J. Dillon]

Clancy, She is "Hove To" A kind of way of stopping the ship from serious fwd. motion. Ships would do this to take on a pilot etc , a whaler to cut in a whale. Not sure why a war ship would do this in a battle. It seems to me that would make em a sitting duck. But perhaps someone else can answer that one.

Tom about art or yarns?

Clancy, I notice in the first image the Bounty is Hove to. Notice the boat making for shore. Probably Mr. Christian checking to see if the island is suitable place to hide from British justice;)

Groves,John-Hoisting The Upper T'Gallant - pastel
Hoisting The Upper T'Gallant, 1900s
'Much of the very heavy work of 'pulley-haul' aboard a ship of this period might be alleviated by taking a halyard, sheet, or brace to one of the capstans fitted on the main deck.'

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d31/inuitsea/Tall%20Ships/p-tall_ships032.jpg

Groves,John-Gale Coming On - pastel
'In an advancing gale a merchant ship of the late 18th century shortens her sail. The sails were shortened with the aid of reef-points: lengths of rope spliced each side of the sail through stitched holes in reinforced bands of two or three strips across the sail, to enable the sail to be rolled or folded and made fast to the yard so as to expose a smaller area to the wind.'


http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d31/inuitsea/Tall%20Ships/p-tall_ships033.jpg

Groves,John-South West Coast - pastel
'After several weeks of overcast and stormy weather, making for the English Channel, unable to fix her position and relying on deadreckoning, pushed sideways by currents or general scend of the sea, this ship came off course and, like so many others, one dark and stormy night found herself embayed on the coast of Cornwall, with every possibility of no
survivors among the crew.' 'Quite a number of people are uncomfortable with this picture. I guess it is because it shows a side of the sea they do not wishto be reminded of.'

Definitions from the web:

scend
1. Rise or heave upward under the influence of a natural force, as on a wave.
2. The distance that the trough of a wave is below the average water level. With large waves in shallow water the scend is important to help determine whether a boat will run aground.

embayed
1. (geography) Formed into a bay.
2. (navigation) Pertaining to a vessel in a bay unable to put to sea or to put to sea safely because of wind, current, or sea.

Groves,John-Scarborough-The Herring Season - pastel
'The great fleet of herring drifters has arrived with their catch at Scarborough. The quaysides bustle with activity: on the boats the baskets are filled from the holds then hauled up on to the quay, where the men empty their contents into large rectangular wooden tubs or troughs set up on the quays. Women would gut and salt down the fish and pack them
into barrels. Working on piece rates in teams of three in all weathers, they could deal with about 3,000 fish in an hour.'

The Sheba Queen
John Rackham, known as Calico Jack for his costumes of colourful cotton, together with the female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, who sailed with him in the 40-gun Sheba Queen, came up against two Spanish men-of-war sent to capture and sink them because of their persistent attacks on Spanish merchant shipping. The action was close and destructive, the Spanish receiving the worst of it. During the action Bonny, being of a fierce and courageuos nature, leapt into the main shrouds, exposing herself to the fire from the enemy ships, to cheer on the upper deck gun crews.

I reckon that the English flag and pennant would have been long gone from the ship by then. Nice painting though.

Hunt,Geoff-HMS-.Inconstant & l'Unite - oil on panel

'On 20 April 1796 the frigate Inconstant, Captain Fremantle, reconnoitred what is now the Bay of Tunis. There she found a French warship lying at anchor and, in circumstances which the Inconstant's log-books do not make clear, captured her without a shot being fired. She proved to be l'Unité of 34 guns, a size of vessel that was just dropping out of the category of frigate - in the French Navy such ships were now called corvettes. The interesting thing about this corvette is that she was bought into the Royal Navy, renamed HMS Surprise, and had a busy and
distinguished career (she was Captain Hamilton's command in the recapture of the Hermione), before going on to have an even busier
and far more celebrated career in fiction as Captain Aubrey's ship, in so many of Patrick O'Brien's novels. Here we see the two ships on the morning following the capture.Inconstant is making sail to investigate a strange vessel to the northward, but all turns out well; she proves to be the British frigate La Sybille,...L'Unité even as built had rather an English look about her and there is not much to mark her as a French-built ship to outward appearance, though the spidery object dangling from the driver boom is a characteristically French lifebuoy.'

"Wager in the Great Southern Ocean 1741." It touched something in me. The look of hope at dawn after what probably was a stormy night . Her Top gallants masts were sent down and the glint of sun light on the breaking wave just abeam of her bower anchor stock suggested that emotion for me.

Maybe a good painting to be absorbed in if in one's own crisis ?

Now all the rest were close seconds. ;)

Myers, Mark R-The Neva - watercolour

Pulled With Uncommon Strength.
The Neva Crosses Sitka Sound, 28 September 1804

'...on the 28th towards noon, we moved out of Cross Bay. The weathe was so calm, that our ships were obliged to be towed till ten in the evening, when we anchored for the night, at a short distance from the old settlement of the Sitcans. The Neva could not have reached this situation, but for the united assistance of upwards of a hundred bidarkas, which, though small in size, pulled with uncommon strength.' 'This passage in Captain Yuri Lisianski's 'Voyage Around the World' was simply asking to be painted. A fleet of Russian ships being towed Gulliver-like into battle by a horde of Lilliputian kayaks makes an unusual subject to say the least.'

You're putting me in the mood to try painting again Clancy . I might try # 67.

Are you sure about the Lady Washington painting ? The current one is a brig I believe. The one shown looks more like the Sloop[ Providence.

JD

[clancy]

The brig Lady washington was originally built as the sloop Washington in 1750.
After serving as a merchant vessel for several years, the Washington was refitted as a privateer in 1776. Many merchants went into that business, for as the war went on, trade goods such as sugar and coffee became scarce. There was a lot of money to be had in privateering, as well as the patriotic pride of helping the Colonial cause.
In order to avoid further confusion she was renamed Lady Washington from her original name of "Washington" which had suddenly become rather popular.
In 1789 the sloop was refitted as a brig.


Lady Washington Website (http://www.ladywashington.net/index.php)

I guess there was a lot of rig changes just like today. The current Sloop Providence had a lot of look a likes in their day as well.

# 77 shows the Chinese trackers pulling the water craft up the Yang-see must have been something to see in the old days. I understand they pulled up some of the Tea clippers as well. What a tough way to make a living.

Since this is where we are at today in our travels, I'll toss this one in by Leon Tantillo, 'Morning Mist on the Hudson'

[Tom Hunter]

Clancy,

Earlier in the thread you had a question about the Constitution backwinding the main topsail in her battle with the Java.

She is about to pass in front of the Java, I suspect the captain is slowing her so that he has more time to unload a broadside down the length of the other ship. This will cause carnage on the deck, and if they can put some shots through the Java's bow it will also wreck the forward parts of her gun deck.

Also (and I am not sure on this) he may be doing some steering with the sails. He would not want Java to cut cross his stern, then Java could rake him. So he might be preparing to bear off to starboard after unloading his port broadside. That would pass his stern in front of Java's bow, which is pretty safe to do, and open up is starboard broadside which can fire while the port side guns are reloading.

It would not suprise me if this painting is based partly on the logs of the battle. Its been a long time since I last read about the Constitution in action, but if that is true and my reply is even half correct you can begin to see why Java surrenderd.

Clancy , one of the best threads here.

As a boy I used to go to the Museum of the City of New York in Manhattan about 103 street. At the time they had a great diorama of the NY waterfront during the great age of the clippers . Those daunting bowsprits jutting over South street always got to me. Now I have it all again right on my computer. I can get lost in the images .....all of them..

I thought so too. It appears that the fore royal has blown out, the main royal is reefed behind it.

[J. Dillon]

I think the fore royal is in the process of being furled. They lower the yard so that it's supported by the "lifts". Then the sailors can go up and finish the process. Perhaps Gary B. or present day working sailors can give a better explanation. Clyder Rigged ???

Here's one of my favorites but the color is screwed up.

[PatCassidy]

I think there is quite a bit of artistic license is these beautiful paintings. Many of these painted ships appear to be substantially overpowered. Granted, these boats were built to be swift - but nothing is to be gained by having sails carried away or becoming dismasted. The topmasts and yards above the upper-topsail would have been made of wood and thus not as strong as the lower spars.

Looking at post #161 - "Thessalus" the foreroyal sheets appear to both be cast off. I imagine that the sheets would be eased (or one sheet at a time would be eased) and the sail would be clued-up with the aid of a capstan in a maner to prevent the sail from unnecessarily flogging itself to death. The cluelines would be hauled before the buntlines simply due to manpower constraints.

I'm not sure what the fellow is doing up in the rig by himself. Nobody can hear him on deck and he is isn't doing anything where he is other that putting himself in danger.

Great thread Clancy, the artwork is unbelievable, if only we had more bulkhead space aboard.

A good friend of ours is an acclaimed maritime artist and we are lucky to have some of his work hanging aboard 'Spirit of Sobraon'. I thought we would post some of his work.

This is the under drawing of Sobraon loading wool at Circular Quay 1871 hanging in our saloon.

Casey, # 218, I feel like I'm in the scene. I wish I had that painting room size. It would be good to dream by during the winter months . I'd get a fan going stare at the picture and sprinkle up a little water once in a while . Oh yes a suitable sound track with voices. I wonder what the exchange would be between the three figures ?

JD

[clancy]

That was one of my favorites when I came across it. When I posted it I thought; if someone is going to comment on one of these images it should be this one.

[J. Dillon]

Ya know, looking at it my guess is that the whaler is out bound judging by how freshly painted she looks. The other vessel may be a fishing schooner, maybe in bound with a full hold. Maybe they both hail from the same port. It's just great to wonder what they are talking about.

A great painting food for thought.

...It's just great to wonder what they are talking about.

I was thinking gravity. Then I looked again and saw they were traveling in the opposite direction and probably clear of each other.

[J. Dillon]

Still looking at it. The schooner seems to have a "preventer" ( kasey take note)ready to use there on the main boom bail,but lashed up out of the way for now

The whaler is flying the American flag.

[PatCassidy]

What is the source of all these paintings. I'd like to get the book.
