I have the specifications from Lloyd's Register of Shipping for a bark built in 1842. The following measurements are listed:
Timber and space 24“ each
1st Foothooks: 11 1/2” sided 13 moulded
2nd Foothooks: 10 ½” sided 9 ½” moulded
3rd Foothooks: 10“ sided 8” moulded
Are these assumptions correct?
The space between centers of futtocks is 24"
The 1st futtocks are 11.5" wide and 13" deep (which means there would have been a space of 1" between futtocks--0.5" on either side)
The 2nd futtocks are 10.5" wide and 9.5" deep (which means there would have been a space of 3" between futtocks 1.5" on either side)
The 3rd futtocks are 10" wide and 8" deep (which means there would have been a space of 4" between futtocks--2" on either side)
Is this right?
If so, which are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd futtocks?
