Try this URL:http://www.mysticseaport.org/public/...uratorial.html

Mystic Seaport has a huge resource database on ships and this link should take you right to the page on figureheads.

Sounds like fun, check out your local library, they should have some books on ship carvings. Also the Mariners Museum in New Port News, Virgina as a great display of originals.

Hey Guest,

How did you make out on your project? Do you have any photos you could share with us. I am curious as to which ships figureheads you did. There are so many out there, if you know where to look.

Bob
