Development
of the bomb ketch ship type
The use of mortars as ships' artillery came up in 17th century.
Bomb ketches were difficult to sail, as there were large
mortars on the foredeck in place of the fore-mast. To withstand the recoil of
the cannons with their heavy projectiles, the bomb ketches had to have a massive
and firm hull, with sturdy beams supporting the deck from below.
The bomb ketch
model, photos, description and dimensions
This bomb
ketch was built as a waterline model. The ship is on port tack in quartering wind.
Please take your time to have a good look at
the set of photos. There are several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions, and several
closer views of hull, deck and
rigging. If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high
resolution. Only these high resolution photographs show how much work and
handicraft ability were put in the model.
Viewing the high resolution photos: If you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a
larger screen with the photos. The high resolution photos are about 12
megapixel. So they are about 10 - 20 times larger than your 0.5 - 1.3
megapixel computer
screen. Most browsers by default downsize the pictures to screen
size, so you cannot see all the details of the ship models. To see the original
resolution move the mouse over the pictures and click on the magnifying
lens.
This finely
worked model is 1 : 60 scale.
Much effort was put in showing intricate details of the ship. The model was built
in the 1970s and has been diligently restored. Length is
76 cm, width 27 cm,
height 67 cm.
Price of the ship model
and transport
The price of
the model is 2200 Euro, plus transport cost.
Shipping the bomb ketch in a crate by some
package delivery company can be done. Picking up the ship with your car may be a good way, too.
The ship model is available at my home in Recklinghausen. Please contact me, if you are interested
in the ship model.
