Hy Guys.
On my "Investigator reconstruction I have a few discrepancies.
As the Fram (single decked collier) she was described as 100 feet aloft. Depth of hold 19'
After the gun deck was built below the upper deck it was described as “Length of gun deck 100’ 4” “ height between decks 7'6" Depth of hold 12' 6"
It all seems OK but I don't see how the lower deck can be longer than the upper deck.
What is the definition of:
1/ Length aloft
2/ length of the gun deck
3/ length extreme.
4/ length on the range of the upper deck
The normal starting point is distance between perpendiculars which usually coincides with the distance between the inner edges of the rebet at the height of the lower deck.
But as the lower deck was added later it’s not a good starting point.
Hit me with any definitions of these terms you have to help me reconcile the problems.

Allan
