I have just finished making the hammock cranes and netting for the HMS Victory 1:72 scale. Given that sections of cranes are all different heights, with the ones on each side of the poop deck tapered - how were the hammocks stored? Were they placed horizontal or vertical or in some other way. To date the best advice is that they were folded in half and placed vertically with the folded end upwards. This would mean that the hammocks would stand well proud of the hammock cranes and netting on all the section, except along each side of the gangway. Most models I have seen the hammock have not been displayed or are folded and standing upright.
