模型船舶由骨头制成。在这个万圣节夏娃上，这是一种奇怪的神秘理念。思考似乎令人毛骨悚然甚至有点令人毛骨悚然。
谁会认为使用丢弃的骨头来创造像模特船一样美丽的东西？
Curiosity Aroused
I first learned about these, not from my history degrees, but from the Museum’s current exhibition,The Nelson Touch.这展览是世界上最受尊敬的海军指挥官之一 - 一个由英国公民和欧洲荣耀的人，因为他们的救主：Horatio Nelson。这个展览中的一个有趣的模型真的引起了我的注意。所以，当然，我摔倒了兔子洞（或污水，正如我们在我们的部门所说的那样，你看，我们真的没有选择这一点！）研究船的历史，因为这只是我们所做的！
The idea that it was made from bone was truly astounding. Here is a photo of the ship from our Collection. And the description from our catalog:
“该模型描绘了一个完全装配的船舶线，旨在在战斗中战斗的战舰，这是当天的做法。骨头的木板已被固定在木材的核心上。大多数桅杆，翼梁和块都是骨头，舷梯的轨迹是巴比的。傀儡是一个经典的战士，船尾横梁雕刻雕刻。五条木船悬挂在索具或舞蹈中。枪支甲板可以通过从船尾突出的切换来缩回。第三率，74枪舰船的模型，大约1801年。“
大流行技巧？
During times of stress, as many of us have found during the pandemic, all kinds of new talents and skills have emerged. Maybe you’ve been baking up a storm? Learned how to play a new musical instrument? Because we’re working from home seemingly all the time? Attempting new things that you never thought would be possible? Recreating famous paintings with stuff just around your home because no one but your cat can see? Hoping you can actually change out of jammies for your Zoom staff meeting?
Floating Prisons
好吧，有一个完全不同的繁忙工作水平，这也是巨大的钱制造商 - 即就是这样。在拿破仑战争期间，从大约1793年到1815年，一个有组织的行业正在与法国水手作为战俘所持有的。据估计，在此期间在英国举行了200,000多座啤酒。他们被局限于英格兰和苏格兰的“巨人”。赫克是一个拆除的战舰或商船，往往没有桅杆，因此名称。其中许多人沿着伦敦附近的南方英语海岸。他们还靠近曼彻斯特和利物浦北海南北海海岸附近。在苏格兰，巨龙靠近爱丁堡和珀斯。条件只能描述为，粗糙。
监狱船缺乏卫生船臭名昭着。一个囚犯评论说：“......任何人都不可能在没有污染的情况下持续几天船上船上”。
在土地上，还有大农场，称为“自治政府”和“强大的房屋”。这也是臭名昭着的达特马克监狱被建造的时期，这可能是我的下一个博客文章。
这些模型船舶被销售。许多这些囚犯都是熟练的工匠，然后被迫进入海军服务。它让囚犯占据着忙碌。几名囚犯形成了工作组，能够生产大量的骨船模型。使用的大部分材料是保存from their food rations. Beef portions were fairly common with a total of 5.25 pounds per week per prisoner!
The bones were集and treated because they would be no use as-is. Duties included sorting bones according to size and quality. Another prisoner would be responsible for cleaning and bleaching using several different techniques: sunlight, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen peroxide (also used by the makers of straw mats), lime, and soaking in potash lye. Bones would need to be prepped and cut very thin for planking. Tools were also constructed such as small lathes for turning intricate parts of the ship. Other supplies were procured from items like barrels, broken glass, and more. Other needed supplies would be supplied by the guards because they knew that money could be made! Silk threads were traded and often human hair was used for rigging.
Other Creations
模型船只只是囚犯建造的东西之一。他们还建造了玩具，游戏和机械自动化玩具。另一组法国囚犯被训练为蕾丝制造商！Many of you will remember our exhibition,Sailor Made，我们突出了海上水手制造的惊人集合，也是战俘。以下是来自我们收藏的那些错综复杂的物品的一些例子。

We have three confirmed bone ship models built by prisoners of war. I’m sharing some detailed photos of one of them. It is a model of a ship-of-the-line, ca. 1800.
HMS.胜利
The majority of models were built from the memory of the designer and lead builder. There is one exception though, which is a model of HMS胜利which is on display at the United States Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis, MD. After Nelson’s death, the British Admiralty ordered 15 recently released prisoners to create the model of Nelson’s ship. The wooden core of the ship, that the bone is attached to, supposedly comes from original wood from HMS胜利。该模型位于纳尔逊的石棺27年，然后在1915年在拍卖开始。以下是来自美国海军学院船舶模型的唐纳德·普雷布的巨大少量8分钟的视频。

In closing, I hope you have enjoyed these amazing creations as much as I have. There are not very many of these ships in the world, probably less than about 500. But here are some more sources for you to explore!
