The History of Rigging – Peter’s slide-show describes the development & evolution of sailing ship types and rigging from earliest records to the present day. 
Western ship development is emphasized, but Chinese & south Pacific craft are included for comparison. A question and answer session will follow.
If time and interest permit, Peter will also present slides showing different warships of Nelson’s time in action.
Peter developed this presentation for a Texas Maritime Museum, while
he worked on Columbus’s Nina’s restoration. He is a retired architect, sailor, pilot, and boat builder.
