Ship Info

Hello All

I am fleshing out a hammership from bow to stern. Here
are some of the results of my research and effort so
far. This is a work in progress, I really enjoy this
ship. =)


The 6 month food provision for 60 men...

The Realm Quest has alloted 10 tons of cargo space for
the food provisions. The food are kept in 50 gallons
oak barrels with metal bands. Some of the provisions
are as followed: 252 barrels of beer; 30 barrels of
flour (bisquit, bread and pasta); 2 barrels of sugar;
2 barrels of butter; 2 barrels of distilled spirits; 7
barrels of oatmeal; 9 barrels of pease; 9 barrels of
pork; 18 barrels of beef; 10 barrels of olive oil; 3
barrels of assorted spices; 17 wax covered cheese
wheels (80 pounds per wheel); 9 barrels of fish; 5
barrels of fruits; 1 barrel of lemon juice and 20
barrels of assorted food provisions.


Clothing optional...

The sailors are dressed up while on the ship in white
with blue stripes linen or cotton shirts, loose black
knee high canvas or sail cloth trousers, a belt, a
light blue neckerchief and usually barefoot. They also
carry a knife, usually handmade with an ornate
scabbard, for cutting rigging and for miscellaneous
tasks. The sailor on shore leave add a navy blue waist
coat, navy blue jacket with the ship insignia on the
left breast pocket, black hat, knee high white socks,
black leather square shoes with metal buckles and a
heavy black wool coat in ports with cold weather.
During wet period operations, the sailors wear oil and
tar treated canvas boots, long rain coat and hat and
during cold operations, they wear fur lined boots,
long heavy trousers, long coat with hood and gloves.
The bosun wears a red lanyard on his jacket to signify
his station. When combat is imminent, the sailors dons
on their respective armors and weapons over their
clothes. The crew without their own gears are usually
supplied by the Realm Exploration Society with leather
armor, swords, throwing axes (tomahawks), pikes,
shields, maces, crossbows, bolts and daggers.

The ship's officers all wear white cotton shirts,
black knee high trousers, navy blue waist coat, navy
blue long jacket, black leather belt, white knee high
socks, black leather shoes and a navy blue tri-corner
hat when on duty. They also carry their sword or
weapon in a scabbard, on their belt, while on duty.
Their ranks are displayed on the shoulder of their
naval jackets. They wear appropriate clothing and
gears during cold and wet operations. Mages, priests
and other special high ranking person are not
obligated to wear the officer's clothing, but may wear
the appropriate clothing for their station.

The marines and their officers always wear their armor
and weapons during on duty. They also wear a white
vest, with the REX's insignia, over their armor and a
blue cape. When off duty, they wear the same clothing
as the sailors, but with a red shirt instead of the
blue with white strips used by the sailors and a red
long jacket by the officers. Since they help and
trained to operate the ships, when the ship is short
on sailors, the marines adopted the sailors clothing
when on board.
