I’m a grown-ass adult and I still love pictures like this just as much as I did when I was in the 4th grade. Shit’s just cool!
Now it’s going to sink and they’ll all drown, great job. You can’t just cut off the side of someone’s ship for “education”, it’s still murder
Fat bottom boats make the sailing world go round
I used to have an illustration book that had the most amazing cutaway of a galleon. Every single cm of the page had intricate details of objects and people. You could see the Captain reading in his cabin and someone sneaking food to stowaways hiding at the bottom of the ship.
That sounds super neat
Thanks @PugJesus for keeping this community alive 💜
I do my best! Someday, this community will reach critical mass, and no longer need my constant input 🙏
You do an amazing job keeping this sub alive. I didn’t realize you post 99% of everything thank you I really appreciate it.
It warms my heart to hear that! Often I worry I’m posting too much and ‘crowding out’ others.
There are no stairs down to the bottom three decks.
They favoured max load over speed. Heavily.
Where do they poop?
Poop deck
Off the side of the ship.
I just bet these were dreadful in heavy following seas. All that wetted area, FULL forefoot, damn. Tough bastards but slow AF. At one time this was the pinnacle of navel science and technology. Amazing.
How do you get to the lower decks? Ladders? Where are the sleeping quarters?
That ship’s got a lot of balls.
