be twice and one half the Length of the Beam The Fore-mast The Fore-mast eight ninths of the Main-mast Main-top-mast and top-gallant-mast The Main-top-mast half the Main-mast and the Main-top-gallant-mast half the Main-top-mast The fore-top-mast and top-gallant-mast The Fore-top-mast half the Fore-mast and the Fore-top-gallant-mast half the Fore-top-mast The Bolt-sprit The Bolt-sprit the length of the Fore-mast The Missen-mast and Missen-top-mast The Missen-mast the height of the Main-top-mast from the Quarter-deck and the Missen-top-mast half that Main-yard and Main-top-sail-yard The Main-yard 6 seven parts of the Main-mast and the Main-top-sail-yard half that and Top-gallant-yard half that Fore-yard and Fore-top-sail-yard Missen-yard Sprit-sail-yard and Cross-jack-yard Sprit-sail-top-mast and top-sail-yard Note That all the small Yards are half the great Yards from Cleat to Note Cleat or from one earing of the Top-sail to another you may have what Yard-arms you please The Fore-yard eight ninths of the Main-yard and the Fore-top-sail-yard half that and Top-gallant-yard half that The Missen-yard something shorter then the Fore-yard The Sprit-sail-yard and Cross-jack-yard both one the Cross-jack-yard half the Missen-yard The Sprit-sail-top-sail-yard half the Spri-sail-yard and the Sprit-sail-top-mast almost half the Sprit-sail-yard The Vse of the Model Vse IN these Figures you see two Yards one hoisted and the other lowered or a Portlens the Top-sail-yard also one hoisted and the other down upon the Cape so must you make in all the Models you raise The Yard a portlens gives the Length of Top-sail-sheats and Lifts and Tye or Jeers and Bunt-lines and Leech-lines or Halli-yards measuring from the Hounds to the Deck The Yards hoisted gives the length of Clew-lines Brases and Clew-garnets and Tackles and Sheats and Bow-lines In the small ones is shewed the length of Shrowds and Top-sail Halliards with Brases and Lifts as in the Figure B. Note In the Figure A is shewed how to give a near estimation how many yards of Canvas is in a main Course When you come in any Ship or Vessel and desire to know how many yards of Canvas is in the main or fore Course First you must know the depth of your Sail and the breadth of the Canvas that the Sail is made of then take off so much from the Scale as you see the Cloth is in breadth and place so many Cloaths in the Model on the Main or Fore-yard the same depth that the Sail is on as you see the main Course in this Figure After you have so done then take a fathom or two off from your Scale and measure every Cloth up and down as you do the Ropes and that gives you the number of yards Likewise here is shewed in this Figure the way how to place your Garnet and Runner and Sprit-sail-top-sail Cran-lines and main-stay and fore-stay to find the true length of them In the figure C is shewed the way to find the number of yards that is in a main or fore-top-sail the same way that you measure one Sail you must measure all Observe But this you must observe that you are to place your middle Cloth first in a top sail and from thence to each yards arm that your goers at the Clew may fall out right So likewise to find the length of all Ropes Likewise it theweth the length of main-top-sail bow-lines and so you must do to find the length of fore-top-sail-bow-lines draw only a line from the top-sail yard-arm to the main-yard-arm with your pen or black-lead Note from the further yard-arm that you may take them at the largest extent and so your Brases in like manner it shews also the length of main-bow-line and main-sheat and main-tack and single Garnet All this I could have performed in one model but then it would have been so f●ll that you would not so well have understood it but you may perform all in one figure in starching three or four sheets of paper together and then your model will be of a very good volumn for the bigger it is the less errour will be and your best way to perform all in one model is to draw your yards with black-lead only especially the lowest yards and then you may rub them out after you have measured our your Rigging leaving only a little speck or spot at the end of each yards-arm that you may the easier draw them again if you have occasion the two spots will give you the length of them again without any more trouble and then it will not be so easie for any one to steal away the use of your model by as he that hath an ingenious pate may do and to prevent that I seldom let any yards be seen but only leave two little pricks to give me the length of them at any time when occasion requires And then I draw them out again with black-lead and measure out my Rigging and write them in a piece of paper and then with the crumbs of white bread and a clean linnen cloth I rub them out again and so leave only the mast standing The fore-channel-bines Then for the Channel-bines if you see the Ship or Vessel then you know the better where to place them or if she be upon the stocks that they be not brought too he that is a Seaman will give a near guess where they should be it is no great matter But rather endeavour to place them a little too low rather then too high The length of Stay and Shrowds Or two thirds of the Stay or Main-mast is a good Rule for your Shrowds for your Stay must be as long as the Mast To place the Main-masts Then for the placing of your Mast there is very few but know the Main mast must stand in the middle and to that end raise a Perpendicular Line from the middle of the Keel making a little step some two foot or two foot and a half as is in the Figure D. at K if your Step be not so high as it should be or if it be a little higher then it should be so it be not too much it breaks no square so long as you give a handsome allowance for the end of your Shrowds to turn up Then after you have raised the Mast at his proper length then allow for the Mast-head and there place the Cross-trees but if you measure your Mast as it is allowed any Boat-swain to do then you must mind the height of the Mast-head and it is the surest way to know exactly the length of the Mast and Yards and then you cannot work amiss for I have measured very few Masts but differ something therefore I advise you to know the true length of your Mast and Yards Now the Fore-mast stands just upon the Breast-hook and there you must place a thing imitating a step of some 6 or 7 foot high To place the Fore-mast or 4 or 5 foot high according as the Ship or Vessel is in bigness or

The Compleat MODELLIST SHEWING The true and exact way of Raising the Model of any Ship or Vessel small or great either in Proportion or out of Proportion ALSO The manner how to find the Length of every Rope exactly AND TABLES which give the true Bigness of every Rope in each Vessel Together with The Weights of their Cables and Anchors Performed by Thomas Miller of Great Yarmouth Seaman and Master in the Art of Raising the Model LONDON Printed for William Fisher near the Postern-Gate at Tower-Hill and Eliz. Hurlock at the Rose at the West End of St. Pauls Church 1676. To the Right Worshipful Major William Burton ALDERMAN Of the Town of great Yarmouth Esquire SIR I Wish you much Peace and Happiness both in Soul and Body Sir I do very well know and am sensible that you are a great deal better knowing in this Art of Rigging than my weak Fancy will ever attain unto which did invite me to present You with my weak Works And knowing You to be one that was ever very free to accept of the well-meaning of any one which did the more urge me to the performance of the same not fearing but it would have a loving acceptance from Your Worthy self to publish the same So desiring not to be tedious but only to present my humble thankfulness for former Courtesies received from You I shall ever remain Your Worships Humble Servant THOMAS MILLER To the Reader GEntle Reader I do here present you with the Rare and Exact way of Rigging by the Model But I must confess it is by the perswasions of some that have the true taste of it for I did not intend to publish it as yet but taking it into a serious consideration I thought it not convenient any longer to obscure the reflection of such a true light and as it is truth so it is so plain and easie that any one although he could never before obtain to cut out a Ships Rigging may by this way Rigg any Ship small or great with a Weeks Practice or less But if it were half so easie again as it is which is almost impossible yet I say if it were so easie it is possible a man may have the Book and yet never come to Rigg a Ship if he do not endeavour to get the use of the Book which is a thing that may soon be obtained Likewise I could have shewed a great deal of curiosity in the Models and have drawn them perfectly like a Ship for for matter of draughting And this way of Rigging is most certain will hold true in all Vessels small or great but those Rules by way of Proportion formerly printed cannot hold but will deceive those that trust to them few or none go beyond me But I find it not convenient for at first I did do so and some that I learned were so wise they could almost have left the Goose to run after the Feather that is they were so affected with the draught of the Ship they minded that more than the substance that belonged to it So I have now in every respect laid it down in a more plain manner and as I find this Book to be accepted of I shall present you with another in the future So I conclude And remain yours in all my Practice THOMAS MILLER Instructions for the raising of the Model of any Ship or Vessel small or great WHen you go to raise the Model of any Ship or Vessel you must in the first place know the Length of her Keel and the Depth in her Hold and the Breadth of her Beam The length of the Keel First knowing the Length of the Keel take the Length of the Keel off your Scale and place it on your Paper that you intend to raise your Model on making two pricks one with one point of the Compasses the other with the other then draw a Line with your Pen or Pencil of Black-lead as from A to B. The depth of the Hold from the Keel to the first Deck Then take the Depth of the Hold off from your Scale with your Compasses and set one foot in the end of the Keel line at A and with the other make a prick at D and likewise from B to C then with your Ruler and Black-lead or Pen draw another Line parallel with the Keel and that is the Line for the first Deck The height between the first and second Deck Then for the Height between the fi st and second Deck which appeareth in the Figure following to be 6 foot and a half then take 6 foot and a half off from your Scale and set one foot of your Co●passes at D and with the other make a prick at E and likewise from C to F. So must you do for the Height between the second and third Deck and so for the Cabin and Coch and Round-house above that and for the Fore-castle all in the same manner and then draw Lines from prick to prick To raise the Stem Then for the Stem raise a perpendicular Line frome the fore-part of the Keel to the second Deck then take two thirds of the Depth in Hold which in the figure is 12 foot then set 1 foot of your Compasses at B and with the other mark a prick at G so l kewise set 1 foot in the upper end of the line at H and with the other foot make a prick at I then draw a line from G to I parallel to that from B to H then from that outermost line draw the Stem to the Keel with what Sweep you please running the top of your Stem 3 or 4 foot above the line as it is in the Figure then you may draw it double as you please and the Keel likewise Note And when you draw your deck-Deck-lines let your lower deck-Deck-line run a foot or a beyond the end of the Keel aft and so in like manner all your Decks and then joyn them together something rounding that the model may have a Rake aft and shew Ship-shape You must draw your Model and Scale together at the Keel as you see in the Figure D and note how many feet soever your Model is by the Keel so make and divide the Scale into 15 equal parts as is shewed the 2 first equal parts of the Scale divide into 20 feet The making of the Scale 6 of those feet are one fathom and 12 of those feet are 2 fathom And the other 13 divisions numbred by 10 20 30 c. 10 130 are 10 feet a piece By the fathoms I measure the length of the Ropes and also the Canvas for the Sails and by the Scale of equal parts I measure the Model the larger you draw the Models of your Vessels or Ships the better you may see to do your Work A Rule for Masting and Yarding by Proportion but for my part I make no use of it because it will not hold The Main-mast THe Main-mast must
