(With illustrations from other sources)
The term applies to all vessels clad with iron for defense. The introduction of iron armor for the protection
of ships is of very recent date. Formerly, as we find by allusions in history, there had been instances where
efforts were made to protect the sides of ships by timber or hides, but these seem to have been isolated
cases due to the ideas of some individual commander. With the artillery that was in use in the 15th, 16th,
and 17th centuries there was no call for any aid in the defense of ships, and the term wooden walls
conveyed the idea of an all-sufficient protection; and the correctness of the idea is sufficiently apparent
when we refer to the actions of such commanders as Blake and Van Tromp being continued day after day,
and being finally closed without definite result.
In the 18th century artillery had become much more formidable, but it was not until early in the 19th
century that any definite shape was given to the idea of protecting the sides of a ship from the fire of an
enemy; and even when it was first seriously proposed it met with great disfavor, and has had to fight its
way against determined opposition and prejudice.
Thomas Gregg, of Pennsylvania, is given the credit of the first definite proposition for an ironclad vessel in
1813, but no decided step in developing the subject was taken until Mr. Stevens, of New York, made his
contract with the U. S. government in 1843 for the construction of an armed vessel.
The date of this, the first decided step in the direction of armor for ships made by any government, is
worthy of note, for we find that it was at about the same period of time that horizontal firing of explosive
projectiles from the batteries of ships of war became general. The connection between the two
circumstances is apparent, and there can be no doubt that the introduction of the shell as a projectile has
caused the use of iron for armor.
The development of armor ceased at this time with the above contract for the Stevens battery, and it was
not until after the Crimean war (1855) that efforts were renewed to introduce armor.
During the Crimean war a few ironclad batteries had been constructed by
the French, and it was the behavior of these vessels in their ability to
resist the effect of shells which induced the English and French
governments to commence the construction of ironclad ships. In 1858
the work of conversion and construction was commenced in earnest, and
it has been carried on unremittingly to the present day. As the capacity
for defense increased, the power of offense was added to by increasing
the power of the guns, and thus have arisen the wonderful fleets of
ironclads that we now see on the ocean.
The different types of ironclads are so numerous that it is impossible to
enumerate them in a paper of this character; they can be generally
ranged under two heads, namely, as broadside and turreted vessels. The
first efforts were naturally confined to the construction of broadside
ironclads; the turreted vessels were of later date of construction, due to
an invention of Mr. Ericsson, of which mention will be made later. The
broadside ironclads will be first presented, and the rate of development
during the past twenty years can be estimated by citing a few instances
in the course of the application of the system. The work of developing the
system was assumed by England and France alone, and after a certain
point had been reached England was left alone to continue the work,
carrying it to its present state. The conclusions that have been readied by her investigations and
experiments have been adopted and applied by other nations, but the English ironclads are the proper
citations to make in tracing the advancement of the system.
In 1858 the French built La Gloire, and the
English built the Warrior. The Gloire was a
wooden hull, but the Warrior was iron built. This
error in the French construction was continued for
many years, and had the effect of throwing her
back in the struggle for supremacy, as the
deterioration of the wood covered by iron plating
made repairs frequent, and increased expense.
The following table presents the first experiments
made in the development of sea-going broadside
ironclads:
6-inch guns, but the Warrior carried a battery of ten 12-ton (9-inch) and sixteen 6.5-ton (7-inch) guns,
which made her much the more formidable vessel.
After the construction of these vessels the mode of procedure of the two governments was very unlike, the
French plan being to build a large number of similar vessels, while the English plan is apparent in
numerous vessels of dissimilar construction. Two examples are cited of a type that has been repeated very
often in the French service, thus forming the chief part of her ironclad fleet.
The class of the Flandre type is armed with eight 12-ton guns and four 7-ton guns. The class of the
Belliqueuse type is armed with six 7-ton guns.
The following examples (taken, as are the above, from King's Report on European Ships of War)
illustrate the progress made in England in the development of ironclads of the broadside type:
and abaft of the battery; all the vital portions of the vessel are thus amply protected, and the battery itself
is protected from a fire from directly ahead or astern.
It has always been very desirable to give the guns as much lateral train as possible, but when the guns,
few in number, were concentrated in the central part of the vessel, it became the more necessary to
increase this property in them. From the effort to
achieve this object have arisen many of the
modifications in the development of the fleet of
ironclads, which account for the diversity in their
construction. In some cases the forward and after
iron bulkheads are curved to form bow and quarter
ports, in which guns are mounted and protected
even when the broadside battery is unprotected.
In other cases, where the broadside battery is
protected, and the side-armor is connected with
the athwartship bulkheads forward and shaft the
battery, a port is cut in the bulkheads near the
corners, and the forward and after guns on each
side are made shifting guns, to fire out of either
port at will. In other cases, an additional iron
casemate is constructed above the main battery.
In other cases, the fire ahead and astern is
delivered from stationary turrets placed at the bow and stern, the guns being uncovered, mounted in
barbette. By these means an all-around fire is obtained from broadside ships without interfering with the
use of the whole battery on the broadside.
The introduction of turreted ironclads is due to a call for ironclads made by the U. S. government during
the war of the Rebellion of 1861. Among those who responded to this call was Mr. John Ericsson, of New
York, who submitted the plans of the Monitor.
Agreeably to the conditions named by the Navy Department, the following problem was presented to him :
an ironclad vessel of small dimensions capable of navigating the Southern rivers, and absolutely
impregnable against the ordnance possessed by the Southern States.
The draft of water being thus limited to about 11 feet, impregnability could only be insured by nearly
immersing the hull, as high freeboard and impregnability would have called for an amount of weight
incompatible with light draft and small tonnage.
Absolute protection to guns and guns' crews being also an imperative condition, called for the adoption of a
covered battery, which was made cylindrical, and, in order to obviate the necessity of maneuvering the
vessel in narrow rivers, the battery or turret was made to revolve around a vertical axis, in order to insure
an all-around fire while the vessel remained stationary.
As the light draft of this small ironclad brought the top of the propeller very near the water-line, a
projecting deck, or stern overhang, was adopted for the protection of the propeller blades.
The principal object of the Monitor being that of engaging shore-batteries at short ranges, facilities for
dropping and lifting the anchor without exposing the crew also presented a problem for solution, hence the
adoption of the overhang deck at the bow, provided with a cylindrical well in which the anchor was
suspended after being lifted by mechanism arranged within the hull. In order to give thorough protection,
the steam machinery, as well as the quarters for officers and men, were located below the water-line, and
further protected by a continuous side-overhang. This consisted of the armor and wood backing, first
styled armor timber, which was bolted to the iron hull, being supported by a horizontal girder running all
along the side, called an armor shelf, which was
assisted by vertical gussets of iron secured at
intervals to the side by angle-irons. The wood backing
was disposed in two layers between these gussets,
and the armor, consisting of five 1-inch plates, was
bolted on outside of all. The armor shelf, disposed as
a horizontal girder, formed the base of this projection
from the side, and presented a very formidable
resistance to any inclination or tendency to roll that
might be induced by the action of the waves. The
whole structure was like a raft on the water, and this was the original design as conceived by the inventor.
It was a most perfect gunnery platform. The guns that were mounted on this vessel had to be inclosed,
and the most convenient form of inclosure was circular; this was arranged so as to give lateral training to
the guns by revolving, and thus we have the origin of the system of revolving turrets for ironclad vessels.
The principle of the Ericsson turret, with modifications in the plan of revolving it, has been adopted by
other nations, notably by England, and is perpetuated in her
large fleet of turreted vessels, but decided departure is taken in
their construction from the original design of the Monitor. In
fact, it is a misnomer to style all turreted vessels monitors, for
they are only such in the one point of common resemblance, that
the battery is enclosed in a turret. With the heavy guns now in
use a turret is necessary for the manipulation of them, but in the
Monitor the turret was adopted as a convenience, for the guns
that were mounted in the Monitor (11-inch Dahlgrens) could be
worked by manpower. The turret was not the only principle
involved in the Monitor: the low freeboard was quite as essential
a feature; thus the foreign turreted vessels, with their high
freeboards and breastworks and curved bottoms, inducing and
favoring the rolling motion, do not embody the idea of the
Monitor.
By common, tacit consent of nations, turreted vessels are not
supplied with masts and sails. The experiment was tried in England, where were built the Monarch and
the Captain; both of these vessels had comparatively high freeboards, that of the Monarch being 8 feet
in height. The Monarch has not been duplicated, and the Captain capsized under sail and foundered
during her first experimental cruise. The effort in these vessels was to raise the turret-ports higher above
the water; this was done by raising all the weights and building up the armored sides to the required
height. The effect of this plan was demonstrated in the melancholy catastrophe that befell the Captain.
The same result, so far as raising the ports higher is concerned, is achieved now by the English Admiralty
in their turreted vessels of later date by building, on a deck of low freeboard, a breastwork which protects
the lower portions of the turrets and smoke-stacks, and affords a shelter to the hatchways from water that
may come on deck. The breastwork-turreted vessels carry two turrets, and the space inclosed by the
breastworks occupies a large portion of the length of the vessel, consequent this is provides a large surface
to resist the wash of seas that find their way over the rail on to the deck, and thus a rolling motion is
induced which does not obtain in the Ericsson monitor. The rail itself of the breastwork-turreted vessels is
much higher than in the monitor as designed, and every inch of height of freeboard increases this tendency
to roll to a great degree.
There is one point about the breastwork-turreted vessel which is referred to as a great advantage, but
which is more imaginary than real; it is that the breastwork affords a protection to the hatchways, which
can he left open when the seas are flowing across the deck, and thus allows natural ventilation to the ship.
Carefully-prepared statistics, gathered from the experience of the Ericsson monitors during the war of the
Rebellion, show that the health of the crews of the monitors was better than that of the crews of the rest of
the blockading squadrons. The artificial ventilation of the monitors, effected by centrifugal suction-blowers
operated by steam, is thus proved to be all-sufficient.
In comparing the original design of the Monitor with the turreted vessels of other nations, we find that for
harbor defense the monitor is the more steady gunnery platform, but for service at sea the breastworkturreted vessel is the more efficient.
Besides England, the only nations in Europe that have adopted the turret system to any extent are Holland
and Italy. The Russian navy is provided with a few monitors of the Passaic class. The following tables,
present examples of turreted vessels in the navies of the three nations who have adopted the system in
whole or in part. The fighting force of the Dutch navy is composed entirely of turreted vessels. They are
designed for harbor defense, and are considered of sufficient power to cope with such vessels of an enemy
as have light draft sufficient to enable them to approach a shallow coast.
The following are examples taken from the list of English turreted vessels:
The broadside ironclads of Italy are armored with iron of from 4.5 to 6 inches, but in the development of
the turret system they have taken a step in advance of the rest of the world, The following table cites the
latest efforts of Italy in this respect:
These vessels are armed with four 100-ton Armstrong guns. The central portion of these vessels is plated
with steel instead of iron, in consequence of the result of experiments made with the 100-ton gun against
targets constructed on different systems of steel and iron.
In reference to the weight of the guns that can be carried by vessels of the broadside and turreted
systems, respectively, it is shown that it has not been attempted to work a heavier piece than a 2-ton gun
in a broadside battery, while we see that the armament of the Duilio (turreted vessel) consists of 100-ton
guns. So far, then, as capacity to manipulate the heavier gun is concerned, the turreted vessel has the
advantage over broadside ironclads.
The necessity of providing ironclad vessels with capacity to float the increased weight due to their armor
has forced great changes in naval architecture. The V-shaped cross-section of the Warrior has given place
to one of a U form, and a comparison of the dimensions of the lightly armored Warrior with the heavilyarmored Alexandra show the modifications that have been introduced in this respect. The graceful
overhanging bows have been suppressed, and the sterns are designed so as to afford protection to the
screw and rudder.
So great is the thickness of plates that have now been called into use in consequence of the development
of power in guns, that efforts are being made to utilize other metals than iron in hope of reducing the
weight of the armor while retaining power of resistance to impact. It has been mentioned above that steel
is being used for the plates of the Italian turreted vessels, and it has also been discovered that an iron
plate faced with steel, by welding when the steel is in a liquid state, increases the power of resistance to a
great degree. It is probable that the latter plan will be very generally adopted for the armor of ironclads.

Introduction
What exactly were the Swallow and the Amazon like, those famous sailboats of Arthur Ransome's
books Swallows and Amazons and Swallowdale? Many readers would love to recreate the
adventures of the Walker and Blackett children for themselves, or for their own children, and they
want to learn more about the boats. The boats of these special stories were real boats, just as
many of the locations in the stories are real places. This essay describes what we know of the
Swallow and the Amazon.
In the summer of 1928, Ernest Altounyan, a friend of Arthur Ransome, came to Coniston Water
with his family and soon thereafter bought two boats for his children. The children were Taqui (age
eleven), Susan (age nine), Titty (age eight), Roger (age six), and Bridgit (nearly three). The
children became the models for characters in Arthur Ransome's books, and the boats became the
Swallow and Amazon. Susan and Roger crewed the Swallow, while Taqui and Titty crewed the
Mavis, which was the model for the Amazon. The Mavis (Amazon), may be seen today, in good
order, at the Windermere Steamboat Museum near Lake Windermere. When the Altounyans later
moved to Syria, they gave the Swallow to Arthur Ransome, who lived at Low Ludderburn near Lake
Windermere.
The Swallow has vanished without a trace, but Arthur Ransome described a great many details
about her in his books. Boats similar to her are still being made in Britain. We can infer a great
deal about the Swallow through a kind of detective investigation, using Ransome's books and
information about similar boats. Also we are privileged to have a letter from Mr. Roger Fothergill
who owned the original Swallow after Ransome. The text of his letter is available elsewhere on this
web site. All this information is enough to build a fair reproduction of the Swallow.
In the Swallows and Amazons books Arthur Ransome describes sailing in detail, and he uses
proper boating terms where appropriate. He clearly valued good boat handling, and took such care
in writing that reading the books is like watching someone learn sailing. The boating terms he used
are defined in a glossary in this article.
Roger Wardale, in his book Nancy Blackett: Under Sail with Arthur Ransome (Jonathan Cape,
London, 1991), claims the Swallow was "built specially to navigate the treacherous and changing
sands of the Kent Estuary near Arnside...." Arnside is some 15 miles southeast of Coniston Water,
one of the original settings for Swallows and Amazons. Bought used in 1928, the Swallow cost
15 pounds, roughly 500 to 1000 pounds in today's currency, or $750 to $1500. One can buy a
second-hand sailing dinghy similar to the Swallow for that much today as well.
The Swallow was an English sailing dinghy. She is of clinker construction, also termed lapstrake:
the planks overlap to form ridges along the hull, outside and inside, which are obvious in some
illustrations in Swallows and Amazons. These ridges are termed "laps", or "lands", and are
fastened with clinched copper nails or rivets. Steam-bent ribs inside the planks, thwarts, a solid
keel, a stem, and a transom provide the supporting framework. Clinker sailing dinghies were used
in near-shore fishing and carrying, and were carried on ships for harbor-going boats. These strong
and fairly simple boats had to be able to carry a load and to stand some rough conditions. The
Swallow was based on the principle of the work boats, but probably was built for pleasure boating.
Clinker building was the most common technique for small boat construction on both sides of the
Atlantic before plastic and metal boats took over. When wood and labor were cheap, metal
expensive, and synthetic glues and plywood non-existent, clinker was the obvious way to build a
good working boat. It was well established by the Viking age, and it has not been forgotten since.
Boats like the Swallow are still being built in the British Isles and the U.S. For example, see the
November-December 1995 issue of the magazine The Boatman. It has an article titled "Ladies of
the Lake," featuring two new wooden sailing dinghies of traditional design on Coniston Water,
followed by an account of building a clinker sailing dinghy.
There are no existing measurements or construction plans of the Swallow, but Arthur Ransome
includes a great many details about her in Swallows and Amazons and Swallowdale. Ransome
twice describes her as fourteen feet long, and once as "between thirteen and fourteen feet long."
She had two thwarts, used for seats, and sternbenches. She could carry four small children (ages
six to twelve) and a good deal of camping gear, and sometimes she even added an adult to that
crew. She had enough room forward of the mast for the "ship's boy," Roger, to stand while the boat
was underway.
The drawings by Ransome support many of his descriptions, and also show that Swallow had a
wide, dark sheerstrake and the rubbing rail attached to its lower edge, a feature typical of English
sailing dinghies. Dinghy rubbing strakes, or rails, are sometimes varnished mahogany and
sometimes painted. Otherwise, the Swallow was painted white outside.
The Swallow carried ballast under the bottom boards, in the form of "six pigs of lead, five little
ones and a big one." Each lead pig was easily carried by a child, so the total weight of ballast was
roughly 100 pounds. The bottom boards inside could be removed, and the ballast was placed
loosely under them. The hull was light enough for the children to turn over on the shore once the
mast and ballast were out.
The really distinctive feature of the Swallow is the full length wooden keel, 6 inches deep. The use
of this keel, rather than a centerboard, probably suited the sailing conditions where the Swallow
was built. The keel and ballast allow sailing in shallow water. They avoid the complexity of the
centerboard and its case and gear; and they provide more unobstructed room inside. Iain
Oughtred, a noted Scottish boat designer, comments that "Deep external keels like the Swallow
apparently had are very unusual in such boats. Most used galvanized steel centreplates 1/4" to
1/2" thick, hoisted with a drum winches. Extra ballast also is unusual, but sometimes used
according to conditions."
Profile and sail plan of the Swallow, reconstructed from all characteristics of the
Swallow described by Arthur Ransome, and from conventional clinker sailing
dinghy design. This drawing is described as "exactly like her" by Mr. Roger
Fothergill who owned the Swallow after Arthur Ransome.

To get underway, you dropped in the solid wood mast, and then hoisted the sail. There were
virtually no metal fittings. The halyard was made fast to cleats under the forward thwart, or tied to
the middle thwart, so that the skipper or crew could let go in a hurry - this is a fine thing for
mountain lake sailing where sudden strong gusts can strike from any direction with little warning.
The "cleats" may be the brass belaying pins referred to elsewhere in the books. There was a small
tackle connecting the boom near the mast to the keel to pull down the boom. The lead of the sheet
is not described in the books; based on Ransome's drawings, it may have run directly from boom
to hand, with no traveler or blocks. The sail had reef points, and it was laced to both the boom and
the yard.
Some modern sailors might disregard the Swallow's rig because it is not as fast as the rigs on
modern racing boats. On the other hand, if you start rigging the Swallow at the same time they
start rigging their boat, you will be sailing long before they do. What do you want, simplicity and
time spent sailing or complexity and time spent fiddling around? Further, the Swallow's rig can be
let down with a run, the weight of the yard bringing down the sail; this is a good thing for a novice
crew caught in a tight spot.
It's too bad that almost all sailboats today use complex rigging, making sailing more difficult and
demanding than it need be. Many traditional rigs, such as the lug rig, are very simple, and quite
satisfactory for pleasure sailing, if not for all-out racing boats. Lug rigs are still in use in the British
Isles, and they are regaining popularity in the U.S. Some new boat designs even use lug rigs.
Unknown Details
Unfortunately, important information required to build an exact copy of the Swallow is missing.
What was the exact length, the beam, transom shape, and freeboard, not to mention the actual
hull shape? The length must have been within a few inches of 13 feet 6 inches (4.12 m), based on
Arthur Ransome's repeated statements; he also says she was the same length as the Amazon.
Many similar-sized sailing dinghies from the period are all very much the same proportions and
provide excellent guidance. From them, I estimated the beam was close to five feet, possibly more,
but probably no more than five feet four inches. I estimate transom width at about 3 feet 4 inches,
perhaps as wide as 3 feet 6 inches, and I estimate the minimum freeboard was close to 13 inches.
The bow freeboard would have been about 20 inches and the stern freeboard 16 inches. (After
making these estimates I discovered, to my pleasure, that Iain Oughtred's dinghy Ptarmigan, also
based on traditional dinghies, has exactly these freeboard values.) The sail area probably was
about 65 to 70 square feet. Don't forget that the mast is just short enough to lie inside the hull,
about 12 and a half to 13 feet long. Given the known and inferred information, as well as general
building practices for the type, a boat much like the Swallow could be built today.
The Amazon, originally named the Mavis, is now on loan to the Windermere Steamboat Museum by
the Altounyan family. The restoration of this boat in 1989 led to the creation of the Arthur Ransome
Society.
The Amazon and Swallow were alike in many ways: the same lug rig, the same clinker
construction, the same thwarts and stern benches. The chief differences between the Swallow and
the Amazon are that the Amazon is about four feet in beam, rather than five feet, and the Amazon
has a centerboard and the tackle to raise it and lower it. Centerboards are quite common in English
clinker sailing dinghies. The Amazon could carry two or three children easily, or perhaps three
adults.
Varnished pine planking was typical of fine boats - yacht tenders for example. Sometimes the pine
came from America. Varnish is grand, but it is less durable than paint and requires more
maintenance. At some point since the books were written, the Amazon was painted (if this boat
were ever really varnished), and she is now white outside and gray inside with a green sheerstrake
and white rubbing strakes.
One distinctive feature of the Amazon was her "small barrel of polished oak." This was used to
carry fresh water, or supposedly rum, which proved to be lemonade. Hoisting the barrel out and
carrying it suspended from an oar lent a very piratical air to the proceedings.
A three-part tackle is used to raise the centerboard (no wonder Roger wanted to know what that
thing was in the center of the boat). There are stern benches and three thwarts in the existing
boat, though the Amazon of Ransome's drawings has only two thwarts. She is fitted with three sets
of rowlocks. The mast, a solid timber, is held against the forward edge of the forward thwart by a
metal strap. There is much less room forward of the mast than in the Swallow.

The Amazon would have less initial stability than the Swallow, due to the narrower beam. For
landsmen, I should note that "less initial stability" and a narrow beam does not mean that the
Amazon is unsafe; these factors are associated with easier rowing and quicker handling under sail.
I hope the lines were taken off the Amazon at the time of restoration. ("Lines" are the curves used
by naval architects to dscribe the sha[e pf a hull, and draw on paper.) If not, the Windermere
Steamboat Museum could honor a request by a competent boat designer or builder to do so now.
The Museum or the Arthur Ransome Society could sell detailed plans for the Amazon, which would
be of interest to boatbuilders and Arthur Ransome fans around the world. The effort would be small
for the value.
Resting quietly indoors, Amazon bears a sign that asks "This is a very old boat in peaceful
retirement. Please do not disturb her." We all wish her a long and peaceful retirement, in good
care.
Sailing Performance Assessments
"I do believe she's a wee bit better than Amazon in going to windward when there's a squall," said
Nancy.
"But when it comes to running, and we pick up our centre-board, Amazon simply slips away from
her."
The Swallow was not like modern racing dinghies. Having a broad, stable hull, a full-length keel,
the lug rig, and internal ballast, she was more a little ship than a racing dinghy. The Swallow was
derived from boats of the age of working sail that was ending about the time when she was made.
They were built to carry a useful load of crew and supplies, to be sailed, or rowed, by one man,
and to stand up to some rough winds and waves. The Swallow was not a "performance" boat in the
modern sense of being quick around buoys in a race. If you must sail as fast as possible, then the
Swallow is not for you. However, modern racing sailboats don't have the "performance" of the
Swallow, either. In strong winds they require full concentration to avoid trouble. They can't carry
much in the way of supplies, and they are often somewhat uncomfortable. Sailing a dinghy like the
Swallow gives pleasures unknown to the perch-on-the-rail crowd - greater comfort, for one. If welldesigned and well-built, they can also be fine sailers, rewarding the skilled helmsman.
Though the Swallow was comparatively comfortable and stable, she, and sailing dinghies like her,
are no tubs. Ransome's description of sailing Swallow under strong and gusty winds in
Swallowdale, just before John has an unexpected jibe, is one anyone who has sailed in similar
conditions in a good small boat will recognize. The ballast and comparatively wide beam and flat
floors amidships would make a stiff or initially stable craft, one that could stand up to a breeze, as
demonstrated in the boat race in Swallowdale. The long keel would help keep the boat on course.
This has the advantage of avoiding a helm that requires very careful minding, a good thing for
those learning to sail, or for those distracted by children, siblings, or even parrots in cages. The
long keel and generous weight means coming about requires more time and a different technique
than in a racing dinghy: you sail through the wind after getting up a good way, coming around
handsomely, rather than just shoving the tiller over.
The drawback of the long keel is that boats like the Swallow may not be able to sail as close to the
wind as boats with centerboards, such as the Amazon. Ransome defends the Swallow's windward
ability several times, and he gives a description of tacking the Swallow by compass at night in
Swallows and Amazons (Chapter XXI) saying she tacked between south-east and south-west,
"or perhaps a bit better." That is to say she tacked through 90 degrees, which is quite satisfactory
for any sailboat not designed for racing - so good that some sailors may be skeptical of the claim.
Ransome did not mention the leeway made by Swallow.
Seeking to go beyond Ransome's descriptions, the question of how well the Swallow sailed can be
addressed by the experience of other dinghy sailors. Valuable testimony comes from Roger
Fothergill, who bought "Swallow" after Ransome owned her, and sailed her three or four seasons. A
letter from him may be found here.
Accounts of sailors with sailing dinghies like the Swallow or Amazon can be read here Reading
these accounts we see that a boat like the Swallow is very satisfactory even today. From this
experience some basic dinghy design ideas emerge:
Design Recommendations for new Swallows
When designing or selecting a sailing dinghy to serve as your Swallow, make sure the mast is far
enough forward to give good helm balance, or use a jib. You do not want too much weather helm a tendency to try to turn into the wind while sailing a straight course. (Nor do you want any lee
helm at all; trying to turn the other way). At least one new Swallow-equivalent has a balanced
helm - she will stay on whatever course is set with no hand on the tiller! Some sailors think a little
weather helm is a good thing.
A boat with a single lug sail (in the proper location) is easier to manage than two sails. For
beginners I recommend the single sail. You can use any of the simple traditional rigs - lug sail,
sprit sail, or even gunter or Bermudan, though I think lug or sprit is simplest and best for
beginners. A sprit rig has no boom to knock your head, too. And lug rigs sometimes have no boom.
Take your choice.
The Swallow laced the sail to the boom. The universal opinion now is that a free foot on the sail is
best (and simpler). The Swallow had yaws holding the boom to the mast; a "balanced" lug rig with
a boom extending forward of the mast and no yaws is simpler and probably better. The Swallow
had a square foot to the mast. A round foot and a mast that can rotate in place a little is probably
a little better.
You may choose to use a centerboard in place of the long keel. The only advantage to the long keel
is that you don't have to bother raising or lowering the centerboard. The disadvantage of the long
keel is harder tacking and probably not being able to sail quite so close to the wind. It also makes
beaching the boat a little awkward - you ground out in a foot or more of water. The long keel adds
some drag in rowing. All modern sailing dinghies have centerboards, even those of strictly
traditional desing. Even when made, the Swallow's keel was rather unusual. But if you have or
obtain a dinghy with no centerboard you can use it that way. Adding a plank keel is much easier
than adding a centerboard and its trunk. If you add a long keel follow Lionel Hill's advice and taper
the keel pretty strongly from the bow to aft of the mast at least. Your helm balance will depend on
the design of centerboard or keel; this is a complex issue best addressed by moving the mast
location if the helm balance is way off.
You should add floatation. Foam "swimming pool noodles" can be shoved under the seats for lack
of something better. Ballast is not desired; in fact, dangerous. You can use heavy bottom boards to
serve as some ballast without making the boat sink if swamped. My oak bottom boards weigh 60
pounds total, but add a little flotation.
None of these changes make any significant alteration in the appearence or value of the boat from
the original Swallow; and improve performance and safety. All this describes many modern sailing
dinghies of traditional design with lug or sprit rigs. You can retain all other features of the Swallow,
such as the hull shape, seats, etc., with no changess. A very fine example of such a design is Paul
Gartside's Skylark.
The Nancy Blackett and the Goblin
There are yet other boats of Arthur Ransome that survive! The Goblin of his novel We Didn't Mean
to go to Sea is based closely on his own 28 foot cutter Nancy Blackett which he bought with
earnings from Swallows and Amazons. Ransome sailed in her to Holland, the basis for We Didn't
Mean to go to Sea. The Nancy Blackett recently was throughly restored to good sailing order and
as close as possible to the condition known by Arthur Ransome. She is owned, maintained and
sailed by the Nancy Blackett Trust. You can join the trust, help work on her, and even, with a little
luck, go sailing on her.
The mission statement of the Nancy Blackett Trust is
"THE NANCY BLACKETT TRUST exists to preserve Arthur Ransome's Nancy Blackett, the boat he
used as the original for the Goblin in "We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea". Nancy is a 28ft cutter-rigged
sloop built by Hillyards of Littlehampton in 1931, and recently restored after being found derelict in
Scarborough Harbour in 1988. The Trust was formed in 1997 and aims to exhibit Nancy as a
memorial to Ransome, and eventually use her to help young people discover the joys of sailing."
There is a Nancy Blackett Trust Web Site
Ransome's dinghy Coch y Bonddhu, recently restored, which appears as Scarab in the books, is
owned by The Arthur Ransome Society (TARS).
Some improvements to Swallow's sailing characteristics could be made, by small changes to the rig
and perahps the keel. See the discussion above Design Recommendations for new Swallows, and
the accounts of sailors with boats like the Swallow in the next section.
Traditional clinker boats are expensive due to material costs and building skill, but they are more
attractive than fiberglass boats or ones made of simple techniques such as large plywood panels on
frames. You can take great pride in a handsome wood boat, far more appealing than a functional
plastic object.
Building a Boat like the Swallow with Glued Lapstrake Plywood
See the new information online Building a boat 'just like' the Swallow.
If traditional clinker building sounds like a bit much, but you still want to build a boat similar to the
Swallow, there is a slightly easier way: glued lapstrake plywood. This technique has several
advantages: it is easier to build; it is usually cheaper; the boat is easier to clean and maintain; and
it stands being out of water and traveling on a trailer better. A glued lapstrake plywood hull can be
kept on a trailer. Clinker boats built of natural timber are better if kept in water, except for winter
storage.
There are several glued plywood boat designs like the Swallow and Amazon. They all have
centerboards, so they are like the Amazon in that regard.
If you live in Britain, you might order plans for the Grebe from Iain Oughtred (Iain Oughtred,
Struan Cottage, Bearnisdale, Isle of Skye, UK, IV51 9NS. Phone +44 (0)1470 532 732); and get
his new book on glued plywood builidng, too. Oughtred is one of tha master designers and builders
in this technique. TheGrebe is narrower than the Swallow, and wider than the Amazon, but
otherwise she is much like them both in size, style, and behavior. Call it an average of the Swallow
and the Amazon.
If you live in North America you might order plans for the Penobscot 14 by Arch Davis (Arch
Davis Design, P.O. Box 119, Morrill, Maine 04952; telephone (207)-342-4055). Building the
Penobscot 14 is illustrated in WoodenBoat magazine, numbers 138 through 140. She is the same
length as the Swallow, and is similar in shape, rig, and appearance. The building method is
"suitable for the average home builder." Davis sells plans, kits, and complete hulls. Two photos of
this new design appear in the December 1996 issue of WoodenBoat, and there are ads in e very
recent issue.
Another smaller boat is the Ptarmigan (11' 6" long, 4' 5" beam) designed by Iain Oughtred and
described in an article in The Boatman magazine in the December 1995 issue. Oughtred also has
the Robin (10' 3" by 4'). His Egret (11' 10" by 4' 11") and Gannet (14' 5" by 5' 8") are glued
lapstrake dinghies, more modern in hull form than the Swallow or Amazon. They would be faster
but have less initial stability. All of Oughtred's plans are provided with detailed building
instructions.
Another British glued lapstrake design is the Mallard (12' long, 5' beam), designed by Andrew
Wolstenholm, who also sells the plans (see source list below). Building her was described in issues
17 through 23 of The Boatman, a British magazine no longer published. The Mallard is very
close, too, except for being a foot or two shorter than the Ransome boats.
Glued lapstrake plywood can produce beautiful planking and a good rounded hull form. The results
really are similar to the old solid wood clinker boats. If you build in plywood lapstrake, use the best
marine plywood available. Ordinary construction plywood and ordinary (Douglas fir) marine
plywood cannot take the demands of this building technique, nor hold up where so many edges are
exposed. You don't want to see your boat with splintering edges because you used the wrong
plywood.
Oughtred estimates building the Grebe will take about 220 hours - that's for a somewhat
experienced wood worker - and cost roughly 1100 pounds sterling (about US$1600). The building
time does not include gathering materials or setting up your workshop. I imagine a very careful
first-time boat builder might spend more time. The same figure or more would apply to making a
traditional solid wood clinker-built boat. Still, these are not prohibitive figures, and you will end up
with a better boat than you can usually buy for the same money.
Other Building Methods
There are much simpler building methods than glued plywood lapstrake that can make a boat with
performance characteristics similar to Swallow's, if not the same appearence.
A good design that would serve the role of the Swallow is Doug Hylan's 15 foot 4 inch Chesapeake
Bay sailing skiff. If you don't want to go to the trouble of building a lapstrake dinghy, but want to
build your own boat, it would be hard to do a lot better than this. See the review in WoodenBoat
#157, pages 74-75. "It's simple and inexpensive, but it is not cheap." Plans $60 from Doug Hylan
and Associates, PO Box 58, Brooklin Maine 04616. Phone (206) 359-9807.
Another boat that is about as close to the Swallow as an plywood a boat can be is the Scruffie. This
is an Australian kit plywood boat that appears to be easy to build. It has hard chines (flat panel
sides and bottom panels), a lug rig, and amazingly enough for a modern design, lead ballast and a
long keel like the Swallow rather than a centerboard. It is 16 feet long. The photos look like a good
boat. I have no idea how good a boat it really is but it certainly merits investigation if this package
appeals to you. They make a similar "Shimmy" (12 feet) (see Scruffie page), and the remarkable
"Stornaway" a two masted lug-rigged open ketch 18 feet long, a really nice looking boat. They
have sold over 100 boats and there are Scruffie races in Australia. there is a UK contact. Boats can
be obtained ready made as well as in kit form.
