Hi,
I am very interested in the development of the shape of a ship hull between 1600-1800. I have been searching the internet but cant seem to find what i want. I will sum up some question and i hope someone can help me. Wouldnt it be interesting to discuss this topic?
1. How did the shape of the bow, hull and stern develop in this period?
2. What are the most common design for ships in that period? and not just for ship of the line or frigates but for all open water vessels.
3. What does i certain shape mean for the perfomance? What are the advantages and disadvantage of certain designs?
I hope this will start a discussion, because i cant be the only one interested in this.
