Modeling the US Frigate ‘Essex’ 1799 (Instruction manual)
Year: 2009 Language: English Author: Cassano S. Genre: Manual Publisher: Model Shipways, Inc Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 107 Description: The proto-type model shown here is based on the Howard painting which can be corroborated with the indents and notes presented in the ESSEX PAPERS regarding her construction (not the survey taken by Josiah Fox in 1807) and the papers of her first Captain, Edward Preble. The most obvious characteristic is the lack of a fifth gun port on the Quarter Deck. This is not shown in the Howard painting and Preble, in his papers, notes that the port was closed over as the position was directly fouled by the Main Mast rigging rendering the gun unusable.
