Literature | Ships There are three ships often confounded, viz. the Great Harry, the Regent, and the Henry Grâce de Dieu. The GREAT HARRY was built in the third year of Henry VII. (1488). It was a two-decker with three masts, and was accidentally burnt at Woolwich in 1553. The REGENT was burnt in 1512 in an engagement with the French. The HENRY GRÂCE DE DIEU was built at Erith in 1515. It had three decks and four masts. It was named Edward, after the death of Henry VIII. in 1547. There is no record of its destruction. "Though we are not acquainted with all the particular ships that formed the navy of Henry VIII., we know that among them were two very large ones. viz. the Regent, and the Henry Grace de Dieu. The former being burnt in 1512, in an engagement with the French, occasioned Henry to build the latter."- Willet: Naval Architecture, xi. 158. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

A ship, like a boat, is a vehicle designed for passage or transportation across water. It is usually large enough to carry its own boats, such as lifeboats, dinghies, or runabouts. A rule of thumb saying (though it doesn't always apply) is "a boat can fit on a ship, but a ship can't fit on a boat". The exact size at which a ship becomes a boat is often defined by local law and regulation. Submarines are always called boats.
Nautical means related to ships, particularly customs and practices at sea.
In nautical history terms, a ship specifically signifies a three-masted sailing vessel with square sails on all three masts.

How ships are measured
Ships are measured in terms of overall length, length along the waterline, beam (breadth) and tonnage. There are a number of different tonnage definitions, the majority of which are measures of volume rather than displacement. Displacement is most frequently applied to naval vessels and is equal to the actual weight of a ship under specific conditions. "Light ship" tonnage is the actual weight of the ship with no fuel, no persons, no cargo, no water on board, just as it first entered the water. The term "displacement" is used because of the basic physical law, discovered by Archimedes, that the weight of a floating object is exactly that of the weight of the water that would otherwise be in the "hole in the water" created by the ship.
In England, up until the end of the 19th century, ships could be loaded until their decks were almost awash, resulting in a dangerously unstable condition. Additionally, anyone who signed onto the ship for a voyage and, upon realizing that there was danger, chose to leave the ship, could be jailed.
Samuel Plimsoll, a member of Parliament, realized the problem and engaged some engineers to derive a fairly simple formula to determine the position of a line on the side of any specific ship's hull which, when it reached the surface of the water during loading of cargo, meant the ship was as deeply laden as it could safely be. To this day, that mark exists on ships' sides, is called the "Plimsoll Mark", and is a circle with a horizontal line through the center. Because different types of water, (summer, fresh, tropical fresh, winter north Atlantic) have different densities, it became required that a group of lines forward of the Plimsoll Mark be installed to indicate the safe depth (or freeboard above the surface) to which a specific ship could be loaded in water of various densities. That is the "ladder" of lines seen forward of the Plimsoll Mark to this day.
The front of a ship is called the bow, and the rear is the stern. The side of the ship which is on the right when the observer is facing forward is called starboard; the left side is called port. (An easy way to remember port and starboard is that left and port both have four letters.) Different levels of a ship are called decks.
"Walls" in a ship are called "bulkheads". Many are structural members, as well. They serve to maintain stability, prevent water from flooding the entire ship in the event of a breach of the hull, and contain fire. Many are fitted with watertight doors which, in the case of certain types of ships, may be remotely closed.
Propulsion
A few early ships were powered by man, such as the Greek trireme, but most ships were sailing vessels powered by the wind.
The first steamship was the 45-foot Comet of 1812, and steam propulsion progressed considerably over the rest of the 19th century. Notable developments included the condenser, which reduced the requirement for fresh water, and the multiple expansion engine, which improved efficiency. Further efficiencies resulted from the development of the marine steam turbine by Sir Charles Parsons, who demonstrated it on the 100-foot Turbinia at the Spithead Naval Review in 1897. This facilitated a generation of high-speed liners in the first half of the 20th century.
The marine diesel was first used around 1920. It soon offered even greater efficiency than the steam turbine but, for many years, an inferior power to space ratio. Most ships built since around 1960 have been diesel powered, or motor ships, one exception being the Queen Elizabeth 2 of 1968, which was fitted with steam turbines (although she was subsequently converted to diesel as a cost saving measure).
A few ships have been powered by nuclear reactors, but this form of propulsion has caused concerns about safety and has only been popular in large aircraft carriers and in submarines, where the ability to run submerged for long periods has obvious benefits.

Prisoner-of-war model at the Rosenborg Slot
in Copenhagen larger versionA ship model is a model of a ship. Ship models are known as far back as ancient Egypt, where they were used in burials; in modern times they are used in the ship design process, while the modelling of historic ships is a well-regarded if somewhat demanding hobby.
Model shipwrights may create models known as "primitives", which are crude three-dimensional models that represent a type of vessel or even a specific ship. Model shipwrights may also create more detailed models that range in detail all the way up to museum quality. Most ship models have traditionally been built of wood. Today many amateur kits are available for ship models made mostly or totally out of plastic. A small number of model ships are constructed out of sheet metal.
Some of the oldest ship models found have been those of early craft such as Galleys, Galleons, and possibly Carracks, dating from the 12th through the 15th centuries and found occasionally mounted in churches, where they were used to bless the ships and those who sailed in them. Other rare and often very crudely built models of that time period have found their way into collections at various museums around the world.
Despite the fact that some fine artists painted and sculpted masterpieces of architecture and the human and animal form, it seems that no truly representative drawings of ships seems to have survived from this period. Most surviving pictures or engravings are apparently greatly out of scale, although like maps of that period, they were greatly decorated with drawings of real and imagined sea monsters, leaving the nautical historian very little to work with.
Through the earlier centuries, and even into the 18th century, virtually all small craft and many of the larger ships were built without any formal plans being drawn. Shipwrights were apprenticed to their craft at an early age and the art was passed down from father to son. Ship models were being built by designers of large ships primarily to show their prospective customers how the full size ship would appear, and also to introduce advanced building techniques. Few shipping merchants could read a construction draft, and still fewer individuals were sufficiently advanced in the art of drafting or the mathematics necessary to that art. Add to that the fairly primitive method of paper making, with its acidic product tending to discolor and disintegrate, and you will understand why so few ship’s plans survived outside of the Royal Shipyard in England, which to this day is a major source of information on ships of the earlier centuries.
Ship models often referred to as ‘Admiralty’ or ‘Shipyard’ models were built either before or during construction of many 18th and 19th century warships. Although many of these models did not illustrate the actual construction timbering or framing, they did illustrate the form of the hull and usually had great detail of the deck furnishings, masts, spars, and general configuration. Some of these grand models were decorated with carvings of great beauty and were evidently constructed by teams of artisans. The labor they represent would have taken an individual many years to complete, providing you could ever find a competent ship modeler who was also capable of such fine carving. They served to educate the non-seafaring types who were involved in the financing or some other aspect of the ship, to avoid construction errors that might have evolved as the ship itself took form, and more importantly, to demonstrate what a thing of beauty the real ship would be.
During the several wars between France and England, seamen who were taken prisoner were confined, sometimes for many years, and in their boredom, sought relief by building ship models from scraps of wood and bone. This evolved into an art form and the models were sold to the public, which responded by supplying the prisoners with ivory so that the models would be all the more decorative. Rigging was made of human hair, horsehair, silk, or whatever other fine material could be obtained. For the most part, the models had carved wooden hulls covered with thin veneers of bone or ivory, and other parts of the model such as masts and spars were also carved from bone and ivory. To this day they remain highly sought after, valuable collectibles.
Ship modeling got off to a rather slow start in the U.S. Many of the older models from the turn of the century, 1900 on, were models built by seamen who whiled away their off-duty hours whittling models of ships they were serving on. Few home craftsmen of the time attempted ship models because of lack of information other than an occasional sketch or photogravure in the local paper. In the mid 1920’s, ship model kits were introduced to the public and cast lead parts such as anchors, deadeyes, and rigging blocks became available. Magazines carried advertisements for these items, and the home craftsmen of the U.S. began to respond.
The big modeling boost came early in the 1930’s when Popular Science Magazine began to publish a series of articles and plans of famous ships by E. Armitage McCann. This was the true beginning of ship modeling as a popular hobby. It was also the beginning of nautical research as we know it today, an attempt by model craftsman to upgrade their work by researching newly available documents to determine the historical correctness of the models they were building.
Today there exist national and international sources of ship’s plans, information as to dimensions, construction techniques, types of wood and other materials to use in the building of models... and types of wood and materials to stay away from. There are numerous books devoted to modeling, periodicals, and museum collections of models of every type known to man. Ship model clubs are found in many cities around the world.
Ship modeling is a solitary hobby, and some modelers across the country who quietly enjoy their modeling in that solitude are quite unaware that a brotherhood of model builders exist, some totally unaware of such things as ship model publications or firms that sell plans, kits, and supplies. Although the term “solitary” sounds rather negative, it has been my experience that the joy of creating these miniatures frees up the mind to solve business problems, to experience time to think and to extract some answers to the sea of words that we are bombarded with daily. It is a rewarding hobby.
Notable collections include the Norwegian Seafaring Museum (Norsk Sjøfartsmuseum) in Oslo and the Museu Marítim in Barcelona, which has a full-scale (1 meter = 1 meter) model of a galley.
Model shipwright guilds
People who work on building model ships often join together to form guilds; these guilds are intended to allow more experienced members the opportunity to pass on their knowledge to new members; to allow members of all levels of expertise to exchange new ideas, as well as serving as social function.
The USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild, Boston, MA. This club meets on the first Tuesday of every month in Building number 5 at the Charlestown Navy Yard, just one hundred feet away from Old Ironsides.
The Nautical Research Guild website states that "The Nautical Research Guild is an international organization of ship modelers, maritime artists, nautical archeologists and historians who are dedicated to enhancing the art and experience of ship modeling."
Guilds for those interested in buildin odel ships are found across the world.
Basic types of contruction
There are five basic types of construction used in building a wooden ship model hull:
- Solid wood hull sawn and carved from a single block of wood.
- Gluing together two thinner blocks of wood so that a block is formed with the seam vertical, so that the seam will show running down that surface of the block which is to be the deck. No advantage is gained by having the seam show along the sides of the hull.
- Cutting four or five thinner slabs of wood to be glued later into a laminated block. In this case, the slabs will be oriented so that they sit one on top of the other and the reason for this will be forthcoming in the explanation of this technique.
- Plank on bulkhead, a technique in which a series of shaped bulkheads are placed along the keel to form a shaped stage which will be covered with planks to form the hull of the model.
- Plank on frame In this technique, the model is built just as the full size wooden ship is constructed. The keel is laid down in a manner which keeps it straight and true.. The sternpost and stem are erected, deadwood and strengthening pieces inserted, and a series of shaped frames are built and erected along the keel to form the internal framework of the model. The planks are then applied over the frame to form the external covering.
Scale conversion factors
Instead of using plans made specifically for models, many model shipwrights use the actual blueprints for the original vessel. One can take drawings for the original ship to a blueprint service and have them blown up, or reduced to bring them to the new scale. For instance, if the drawings are in 1/4" scale and you intend to build in 3/16”, tell the service to reduce them 25%. You can use the conversion table below to determine the percentage of change. You can easily work directly from the original drawings however, by changing scale each time you make a measurement.
Table of Scale Conversion Factors
from to 1/8 to 3/16 to 1/4 1/16 2.0 3.0 4.0 1/12 1.5 2.25 3.0 3/32 1.33 2.0 2.67 1/8 1.0 1.5 2.0 5/32 0.8 1.2 1.6 3/16 0.67 1.0 1.33 1.5 0.625 0.94 1.25 7/32 0.57 0.86 1.14 1/4 0.5 0.75 1.0 The equation for converting a measurement in one scale to that of another scale is:
D2 = D1 x F where D1 = Dimension in the “from-scale” D2 = Dimension in the “to-scale” F = Conversion factor between scalesExample: A yardarm is 6” long in 3/16” scale. Find its length in 1/8” scale.
F = .67 (from table)It is easier to make measurements in the metric system and them multiply them by the scale conversion factor. Scales are expressed in fractional inches, but fractions themselves are harder to work with than metric measurements. For example, a hatch measures 1” wide on the draft. You are building in 3/16” scale. Measuring the hatch in metric, you measure 25 mm. T he conversion factor for 1/4” to 3/16”, according to the conversion table is .75. So 25mm x .75 = 18.75 mm, or about 19 mm. That is the hatch size in 3/16” scale.D2 = 6” X .67 = 4.02 = 4”
Conversion is a fairly simple task once you start measuring in metric and converting according to the scale.
There is a simple conversion factor that allows you to determine the approximate size of a model by taking the actual measurements of the full-size ship and arriving at a scale factor. It is a rough way of deciding whether you want to build a model that is about two feet long, three feet long, or four feet long.
Here is a ship model conversion example using a real ship, the Hancock. This is a frigate appearing in Chappelle’s "History of American Sailing Ships". In this example we want to estimate its size as a model. We find that the length is given at 136’ 7”, which rounds off to 137 feet. To convert feet (of the actual ship) to the number of inches long that the model will be, use the following factors:
1/8” scale Feet divided by 8
3/16 scale Feet divided by 5.33
1/4” scale Feet divided by 4
To find the principal dimensions (length, height, and width) of a (square rigged) model in 1/8” scale, then: 1. Find scaled length by dividing 137 by 8 = 17.125”
2. Find 50% of 17.125 and add it to 17.125 (8.56 + 17.125 = 25.685, about 25.5)
3. Typically, the height of this model will be its length less 10% or about 23.1/2”
4. Typically, the beam of this model will be its length divided by 4, or about 6 1/2”
Although this technique allows you to judge the approximate length of a proposed model from its true footage, only square riggers will fit the approximate height and beam by the above factors. To approximate these dimensions on other craft, scale the drawings from which you found the length and arrive at her mast heights and beam.

A spacecraft is a vehicle that travels through space. Spacecraft include robotic or unmanned space probes as well as manned vehicles.
The term spaceship is generally applied only to spacecraft capable of transporting people.
A spacesuit has at times been called a miniature spacecraft or spaceship, emphasizing its purpose of keeping its wearer alive while traveling in the vacuum of outer space.
The spacecraft is one of the primal elements in science fiction. Numerous short stories and novels are built up around various ideas for spacecraft. Some books focus on the technical details of the crafts, while others treat the spacecraft as a given and delve little into its actual implementation.

Two ship of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Cyclops, for the Cyclopes of Greek mythology, a race of giants with only one eye.The first USS Cyclops was an ironclad steamer. It was originally USS Kickapoo, was renamed Cyclops from 15 June to 10 August 1869, and then was renamed Kewaydin.
The second USS Cyclops was a collier, launched 7 May, 1910, by William Cramp and Sons, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and placed in service 7 November 1910, with G. W. Worley, Master, Navy Auxiliary Service, in charge. Operating with the Naval Auxiliary Service, Atlantic Fleet, the collier voyaged in the Baltic during May to July 1911 to supply Second Division ships. Returning to Norfolk, Virginia, she operated on the east coast from Newport, Rhode Island, to the Caribbean servicing the fleet. During the troubled conditions in Mexico in 1914 and 1915, she coaled ships on patrol there and received the thanks of the State Department for cooperation in bringing refugees from Tampico to New Orleans, Louisiana.
With American entry into World War I, Cyclops was commissioned 1 May, l917, Lieutenant Commander G. W. Worley in command. She joined a convoy for St. Nazaire, France, in June 1917, returning to the east coast in July. Except for a voyage to Halifax, Nova Scotia, she served along the east coast until 9 January 1918, when she was assigned to Naval Overseas Transportation Service. She then sailed to Brazilian waters to fuel British ships in the south Atlantic, receiving the thanks of the State Department and Commander-in-Chief, Pacific. She put to sea from Rio de Janeiro 16 February 1918, and after touching at Barbados on 3 March and 4 March, was never heard from again. Her loss with all 306 crew and passengers, without a trace, is one of the sea's unsolved mysteries, and is often "credited" to the Bermuda Triangle.
General Characteristics
- Displacement: 19,360 tons
- Length: 542 feet
- Beam: 65 feet
- Draft: 27.8 feet
- Speed: 15 knots
- Complement: 236 men

At least two United States Navy ships have borne the name Phoenix, after the city of Phoenix, Arizona.
- The first Phoenix (CL-46) was a Brooklyn-class light cruiser that served in World War II, and later, as the Argentine General Belgrano was sunk in the Falklands War.
- The second Phoenix (SSN-702) was a Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine commissioned in 1981. (see below)
The second Phoenix (SSN-702) was a Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine. She was laid down 30 July 1977 by the Electric Boat Division, General Dynamics, in Groton, Connecticut, launched 8 December 1979, and commissioned 19 December 1981, Captain William Rothbert commanding.
She was decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register 29 July 1998.
