LaReal–DonDressel

Real (galley)wasbuilt inBarcelona,Spain at the Royal Shipyard and was thelargest galley of its time. A replica of thisgalleyisintheBarcelonaMaritimeMuseum,whichDonwasabletovisitafewyearsago.Thegalleywas200 ft. longand20 ft.wide,had two masts, and weighted 237 tonsempty. Shewasequippedwiththreeheavyand six light artillery pieces,was propelledby a total of 290 rowers and, in addition,carried about 400 sailors and soldiers atLepanto.50menwerepostedontheupperdeckof the forecastle, 50on the amidships

WilliamCrampandSonsShipsandEngineBuildingCompany, subcontracted fromthe Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Company of New York City, laid down USS Vesuvius inSeptember1887 at Philadelphia. Shewas launchedon28April 1888 sponsoredbyMissEleanorBreckinridgeandcommissionedon2June1890atthePhiladelphiaNavyYardwithLieutenant Seaton Schroeder in command. Vesuvius carried three 15-inch cast ironpneumatic guns, inventedbyD.M.MedfordanddevelopedbyEdmundZalinski, a retiredofficer of the United States Army. They were mounted forward side-by-side at a fixedelevationof16degrees.Gunbarrelswere55feetlongwiththemuzzlesextending15feetthroughthedeck37feetabaftthebow.Inordertotraintheseweapons,theshiphadtobeaimed, like a gun, at its target. Compressed air from a 1000-psi reservoir projected theshellsfromthedynamiteguns. The shells fired from the guns were steel or brass casings 7 feet long with theexplosivecontainedintheconical forwardpartofthecasingandspiralvanesontheafterpart to rotate the projectile. The explosive used in the shells themselveswas actually a“desensitized blasting gelatin” composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin. It was less

sensitive to shock than regular dynamite, but still sensitive enough that compressed air,rather thanpowder,hadtobeutilizedas thepropellant. Shellscontaining550poundsofexplosivehadamaximumrangeof1mile,but rangecouldbeextended to4000yardsbyreducing projectile weight to 200 pounds. Maximum muzzle velocity was 800 feet persecond.

Corel brought outtheMovokitandthereseemstobealotofproblems with the transition, as the plansandtheinstructionbookletthatcomeswiththe kit do not match. John mentioned aminor problem that we all have whileconstructingthemodel.Apparently,alotofthe belaying pins disappeared down thehatchoftheupperdeck,whichprovedtobea big problem. If something is dropped

(smallitem)itinevitablydisappearsnevertobefoundagain!Thepedestalsfortherailingsapparentlyhavetobeturnedoutofsquarestock–nonewerefoundinthekit. Despiteallthesetbacks,themodelisstartingtocometogetherandlooksgreat(seephoto). Johndidbring themodel into theMaySMAmeetingbutdidnot talkabout it, soattendanceat theMayflowerGroupmeetingisevenmorerewardingforshipmodelbuilders. DaveOkamurabroughtinacardstockmodeloftheBadgerprintedbyShipyard,thatis available fromShips in Scale over the Internet. It is a fully rigged shipmodel in 1/96scale. There was one of these cardstock ship models at one of the SMA Queen MaryConferences a few years ago, whichwas very impressive. Dave also showed us anothercardstockmodeloftheCairo,againin1/96scale–aCivilWarironclad. DonLeymandiscussedhisprogressonhis superbmodel of theHMSPegasus, a SwanClass sloop of the Royal Navy.

Hehascometothe same conclusion that your editor hasarrived at – a fully rigged shipmodel ismuchbetterthanjustthehull.

Donwas next upto talk about hisprogress (very slow) onthe Le Real. Don is stillinstalling the first layerofplankingonthemodel,which is different fromall other ship modelplank-on-bulkhead kitsDonhasbuiltinthepast.The stem, keel andsternpost are installedAFTER both layers ofplanking are installed.Don is installingthe firstlayer of strakes with noparticular regard toposition, as he does not

want to have any problem with the second layer of planking, which will be installedproperlywith the correctnumberof planks inproper lengthusingproportional dividers.The progress is slow, since Don first soaks the wooden strakes in a solution of Downeywatersoftenerandwater,thenclampsthemtothemodeltodrybeforegluingthemon–allofwhichtakes time. TheDowneywatersoftener ismuchnicer touse thanammoniaandsmells very nice when you are working with it. Once the first layer of planks is finallycompleted,alotofsandingandformingwilltakeplacebeforethesecondlayerofplanksareinstalled. Once again, the instructions make this sound very easy – install first layer ofplanking! Unfortunately, the only other option open to shipmodel buildings is to eithermakeall the framesandsingleplankorstartwithasolidhulland form it toshape.Stevementionedthathestilldoesnotbelievethesternwiththebulgescanbeplankedwiththesecond layer of planking – Don indicated it will be a challenge but there is still a lot ofsandingtobedoneoncethefirstlayerofplanksareinstalledandthe“bumps”onthesternmaynotbesoprominentoncethesandingiscompleted.Thephotoaboveshowsthedeckfirstlayerofplanking.The“strings”inthephotoareattachedtothemodelfrombelowthedecksandhavetobe installedpriortoplanking,as installationafterthemodel isplankedwould not be possible as there would be no access to be able to do so..
