What you think about making a collection of pictures about old ships and old naval documents on forum?.
if you have some pictures of old ships or some documents post it here.

I post some pictures of RN naval orders for HMS Resolution (cpt. James Cook ship from second voyage) very soon.
My apologies if somebody make similar topic earlier! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I SWEAR there used to be a Shipwrights subforum here with plans of old ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Hi Morgan,

I can give you this my picture in original quality, if you want it?

I can send it to you in PM or mail whatever you want tomorrow <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> .

Ahoy
 
would be useful, yes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> could tweak my knowledge of the ropes a good deal with it.
 
Pieter what is status/progress with making a image gallery of ships and related items? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />
If you now something...
 
What gallery? I thought this thread WAS the gallery. What is it exactly you want me to do? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
heck, let's just make this the gallery. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
And no need to go wacko. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
I have some other documents in my collection of pictures.
I will upload it to PA very soon. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
