PREFACE
HE recent publication by this Society, of
Ship
Models: How to Build Them:written
by
Charles G. Davis, a naval architect of unusual
practical experience in the building of ships and also
ship models, at once resulted in a demand for additional
information on this fascinating subject. Not content
with building a block model, a greater knowledge of
ships developed a desire for information on the fram-
ing of the "built-up" model. Ship model builders in
all parts of the country required details on the deck
furniture of various types of vessels at different periods
and also on the thousand and one things that the ship
builder and rigger must know in order to practice his
craft.
Desiring to supply the particular information re-
quired by model builders, a questionnaire was sent to
everyone who had purchased, direct from the Society,
a copy of
Ship Models,
and a large number of replies
was received. In an attempt to meet this demand, in
part, at least, Mr. Davis has written this book and made
a large number of drawings which illustrate, in working
detail, the construction of the more important fittings
of the ship, its masting and rigging. The whole subject
is so extensive that the critical expert is likely to per-
suade himself that he must collect a library of original
source books, but it is believed that
The Ship Model
Builder's Assistant
and its predecessor,
Ship Models:
How to Build Them,
are useful working manuals that
present, in practical form, comprehensive directions
on building ship models correctly and in proper pro-
portion.
