What's New at the Art of Age of Sail?
A commission has been received for a relatively large Spanish Treasure Galleon. The intend will be to create an authentic and highly weathered galleon model. Images of her construction will follow soon.
We've also started the CAD model design of our S.S.
Newfoundland project. 
The 212 ft wooden steam sealer was originally built by Peter Baldwin in
Quebec in 1872. The sealers who perished on the ice in the Newfoundland
sealing disaster of 1914 came off the S.S. Newfoundland. Feeling a bit like
a Maritime Archaeologist, the scarce 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 her CAD re-design showing the starboard side view.
HMS Simoom's stern gallery and hull in the process of being built shown directly above. Her completion is planned for the end of 2010.
