I could spend an entire day in that museum - maybe two :)

Bone Models - Hamburg Maritime Museum BNRA Facebook folder I would like to spend more time viewing this U-Tube video but the sound quality is poor. Is it possible to improve it and increase the volume? Such a large collection of ship bone models is remarkable. In the UK one comes across the occasional single model. Such models sell at auction for very high prices. The only known model of HMS Temeraire (Artist Turner’s “Fighting Temeraire”} which fought at Trafalgar is a bone model at Southampton Maritime Museum but it is not considered accurate in detail. The origins of the bone models at Hamburg must be interesting, especially as Germany was not involved in the Napoleonic wars when the bone models were made by French prisoners of war at Dartmoor prison and on hulks at Portsmouth and other English anchorages. Perhaps Manfried Stern, the presenter of the video, covers this point in his talk but alas I can’t hear it. Malcolm Lewis 7/03/21
