Research Model
During the summers of 2001 and
2002 two teams of students from the Texas A&M University Nautical Archaeology Program helped produce a full
set of drawings of each floor timber preserved on the Cais do Sodré hull.

Fig. 1 - Frames
at a 1/20 scale.
|
These drawings were then inked,
scanned, and graphically treated in a computer, in order to be printed to any particular scale.
In 2003 they were printed at a
1/20 scale and used to cut a set of frames in soft wood.
Since the futtocks have not yet
been recorded, it was not possible to advance this study further.
|
|
A keel was fashioned from the site plan. No rabbets were opened because this
model was only intended to receive a set ribbands.

These 1/20 scale floor timbers
of the Cais do Sodré shipwreck were then mounted on a keel with individual aluminum pins.

Once faired, these frames were
planned to be linked with ribbands running at particular hights, using a number of carpenter marks .
As soon as the drawings of the
preserved futtocks will be ready the model will be completed.
