Researching again.

I researched this time. what different the names of things that belong on or in a pirate ship and then looked at images of these.

Sail – They capture the wind to push the ship forward.

Shrouds – They are the ropes going up to the top of the ship.

Deadeyes – To wrap the shrouds around and keep them in place

Chain plate – A chain plate is a metal plate used to fasten a shroud or stay to the hull of a ship

Cannon – To shoot enemies from afar.

Plank – This is over the edge of the ship and is used to punish his enemies to make them get off the ship

Anchor – To keep the boat from moving when the captain and his crew need to be stationary.

Ladder for lookout – Also called mast’s ladder, this was used to see around and as well as enemies ship in the far distance and then warn the captain

Capstan – a broad revolving cylinder with a vertical axis used for winding a rope or cable, powered by a motor or pushed round by levers.

Masts – Foremast – Mainmast – Mizzenmast

Captain’s cabin – This is the captain’s room where he sleeps.

Wheel – How they steer the ship

For my research I also went to Hartlepool and seen the ship at royal naval museum and I took some photos of the ship from different angles so I could get more accurate things that belong in a pirate ship.

However the museum was closed when we went to look so I couldn’t get up and close photos, but I did manage to get some photos it just would have been better if I could go closer to get the smaller parts of the ship in more details.

As you can see I couldn’t get close up photos, but these images will help for my ship model.
