Year: 2018 Language: english Author: William Mowll Genre: Practical guide Publisher: Seaforth Publishing ISBN: 978 1 5267 2628 5 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 368 Description: Throughout my life it has been a delight and privilege to view some of the best ship-model collections in the world, and over many years I have developed an ever-growing appreciation of this skilled art and craft. During my time at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, it became clear that while model collections have many purposes, the most important function is as an aid to teaching and education. On first seeing William Mowll’s model of HMS Gannet, I was amazed not only at the worldclass standard of workmanship, but also that he had captured – most successfully – the elusive spirit of this ship. I have been associated with Gannet for many years, and from 2000–2006 was the directing naval architect of the team assembled at Chatham Historic Dockyard for the refurbishment of this naval sloop, now nearing 140 years in age. The restoration team worked throughout in great harmony and the ship was completed on time and within budget. Using twenty-first-century modelmaking technology, William Mowll has built a model of the composite constructed steam-powered gun vessel of the nineteenth century. Planned in every detail, the model Gannet gives us a glimpse into the lives and work of the seafaring men and of the Royal Navy which protected British trade and worldwide interests before the Great War.
