Great pics tho! It sounds like they made poor provisions for 'coaling' the ship...passing panniers of coal thru ports for two days sheesh!
When were the first paddle-wheel / sail ships constructed? I remember reading 'The Sea Wolf' and there was mention of such a ship that was a whaler, but I really only recall such a combination mentioned during the Civil War -aka- The War of Northern Aggression as we call it heah down South :)


If/when we go back, I'll try and get some pictures of the interior. I have a better camera now :). Although the flash is still paltry, I can change the ISO setting (giving the effect of a faster film) for shooting in low light.
I think the part of the ship's sides that rises above the deck is the bulwarks. Pronounced in my part of the world somewhat like "bullocks" :).


Hull is the general term, of course, and I know bulwark for at least the moveable internal walls ...
Anyway, this elegant little book has a cross-section of the Victory on pp. 20-21, and models of frigates on pp. 23-25, with lots of labels for the lubberly, though naught for this.
