Capt. Morgan Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 If this has already been covered, my apologies... anyone know where a good 19th century style naval hammock can be had?

William Brand Posted May 10, 2005 Posted May 10, 2005 The hammock is little more than a rectangle of canvas that is gathered at the ends by a hemp rope. Find some heavy duty canvas and put brass eyelets in the ends for the rope. Instant hammock. You can order hammocks at this site. http://www.nicamaka.com/PG-InUseLandscapet.htm Remember, it has to be big enough for them to sew you into it if you get killed.
Capt. Morgan Posted May 10, 2005 Author Posted May 10, 2005 Got it! Last stitch through the nose, and all that!

fergal Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 http://www.twinoakstore.com/ best damn hammocks on the planet
the Royaliste Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Hmmm, while these are all nice hammocks, they dont address the question as they don't even resemble anything period, eh??...You might assemble your own, capt..pretty simple, but leave out the spreader board, definitely modern, mates....and yes, this has been covered in another thread.....'search engines, anyone?'
fergal Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 or yea can email em and send em a pic of what ya want. :)
Capt. Morgan Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 Thanks for the info, gents! As always, 'preciate the historical input, Cap'n Gary... I'm trying to stick to as authentic as possible...

Royaliste is absolutely right. You'll also need lice. Ewwww.
Patrick Hand Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 DANG... DANG.... DANG..... Royaliste ...... I didn't get the measurements when I was down at Blackbeads Wake............ OH Well ...... next time........
Capn_Enigma Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 ....and yes, this has been covered in another thread.....'search engines, anyone?' This be the thread, you'll be lookin fer, mate? Like I wrote there, it's best to break out the old thimble and needle and sew it fer yer onesies. "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"
Patrick Hand Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Capn_Enigma .... just went to the topic ...... dang..... still have to get the measurements (forgot to ask last weekend when I was there...)
Capn_Enigma Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 The already mentioned Ashley Book Of Knots [in knot # 3820] gives the dimensions as being six feet by three feet. Hope this helps. "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"
Christine Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I prefer this here hammock. Aye. Hmmm....not sure I'd want to be laying in a hammock that's dangling above the water like that. I have a fear of sharks.....
Patrick Hand Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 OK .... so I got sidetracked..... the .jpg of wot Christine said is sorta in progerss...........
