All of my knowledge of ship design comes from internet videos and very tiny amounts of research as to how it applies to rc boat designs, so I feel like I’m 100% qualified to say:
I hate how this looks. Either redesign the leading and trailing sails, or take out two of the masts and shorten the ship.
You could show me breakdowns and scientific analysis proving it’s 9,001% better in every way, and I still won’t like it based solely off its looks.
Give me the Amerigo Vespucci any day.
Well shit, fuck me sideways for sharing an opinion of looks in a joking manner, this place is just as fucking bad as reddit. Peace out I guess
Hopefully someone saltier than I can reply, but I’m pretty sure this is a windjammer, which was a derogatory name. I believe steel construction - particularly of masts and lines, like stays - allowed ships to be much longer, and taller … and they were widely regarded as unaesthetic.
Lmao, you show up with an extremely negative comment and then get surprised when your negativity gets responded to with negativity. Yep, must be reddit and lemmys fault!
Those external nubs strongly suggest something that was used for winding fiber or knitting. Storing thread for sewing? Some kind of frame for a popular knitting pattern?
So how well did it work? I can’t imagine it working well when it’s on land, distances are less, you know the size of humans, speed and heading are not factors, anything else?
A WW1 soldier out in the open? Must have been really early 1914 or late 1918. Judging by the helmet and uniform, probably the latter. Or it’s just propaganda material.
FWIW apparently the deer was tame and she only kept it while making a movie (and maybe for a bit afterwards while she was recovering from a miscarriage.) In the movie, her character was followed around by a deer so it had to get used to being near her beforehand. source
