What's New at the Art of Age of Sail?
A commission has been finished for a 'special' custom Johnson 75, see image below.
We're also looking into the Newfoundland sealing vessels involved in the Nfld. sealing disaster of 1914. Vessels such as the S.S. Newfoundland, S.S. Bellaventure, S.S. Bonaventure and S.S. Southern Cross. Our client requested to have an as accurate replica as possible built of one of these vessels. Feeling a bit like a Maritime Archaeologist, the info is bit by bit being pieced together.
Construction is well on the way on a 1:100 scale model of an 1852 frigate-converted-to-troopship HMS Simoom. Shown directly below is the CAD (Computer Aided Design or Drafting) side view drawing of the bare hull.
HMS Simoom's stern gallery and hull in the process of being built shown directly above. Her completion is planned for the middle of 2010.
A restoration and rebuilding of the relatively small model shown above is also on the way, images of the restoration progress will be posted here soon.
