Here's a nifty little reference thing for people curious about how cooking was done on wooden sailing vessels. I was at a museum in Amsterdam a few years back and one of their exhibits was this gorgeous ship.

And this is the kitchen/cooking area:

The entire thing is bricked in and has flagstones on the floor, so if any sparks/flames leaped out, the wooden deck and sides of the ship were shielded by brick and stone. It was an entirely non-wood alcove in an otherwise entirely wooden ship.

No idea if this was the case for all ships of this era, let alone any other wooden ships, but I love the practicality of it.

Also some bonus pictures of the rest of the ship because it's very spiffy.

New piece! Am calling her “Skör” (fragile in Swedish).

Assembled from strips of lace, a doily, and some fiddly needle lace and crochet for the teeth. Starched with diluted wood glue.

Perfect in time for Halloween!
