PREFACE

T HE recent publication by this Society, of Ship

Models: How to Build Them:written by

Charles G. Davis, a naval architect of unusual

practical experience in the building of ships and also

ship models, at once resulted in a demand for additional

information on this fascinating subject. Not content

with building a block model, a greater knowledge of

ships developed a desire for information on the fram-

ing of the "built-up" model. Ship model builders in

all parts of the country required details on the deck

furniture of various types of vessels at different periods

and also on the thousand and one things that the ship

builder and rigger must know in order to practice his

craft.

Desiring to supply the particular information re-

quired by model builders, a questionnaire was sent to

everyone who had purchased, direct from the Society,

a copy of Ship Models, and a large number of replies

was received. In an attempt to meet this demand, in

part, at least, Mr. Davis has written this book and made

a large number of drawings which illustrate, in working

detail, the construction of the more important fittings

of the ship, its masting and rigging. The whole subject

is so extensive that the critical expert is likely to per-

suade himself that he must collect a library of original

source books, but it is believed that The Ship Model

Builder's Assistant and its predecessor, Ship Models:

How to Build Them, are useful working manuals that

present, in practical form, comprehensive directions

on building ship models correctly and in proper pro-

portion.
