A few more !!!

[785boats]

What a marvelous collection of ships.


I take it most of them will end up sailing on the canal down there?


Cheers.
Paul.

The Giacomo, Sub Chaser, Liberty, Flower class, Air craft Carrier are for the canal.


The galleons maybe going to a museum ???


The static ones we are still working out.


The Swedish paddler maybe change into rc , but no room at present for radio etc.


Also it's all glued together and fix rudder!!!!

This could be a 10 Rate [Gun] 3 masted Dutch, Norge or Norske Naval Galleon


The interesting image suggests a dock work repair period?......The Blue shirted men I suspect were ships Sailors as opposed to dock workers [if true, 2 could be assumed as very drunk, or possibly they had fallen during transport  ]


Long timbers are being loaded/shored below decks......the reason for this is unknown?   replacement hull planking would I had assumed been installed externally

Is wasa and the other cased boats modified airfix kits?

[canabus]

Hi Warspite


I believe so, that are all plastic kits from about the 80-90s !!!!
The same with the wooden kit ones.
I remember them at his old house from 30 years ago !!!
Of the rc ones he numbered each one on the model e.g. Giacomo was 107 !!!!
