\"String<\/a>

String Padding with Test Masts<\/p><\/div>\n

While I was working on the string padding and testing the placement of the vessel section, I was able to test the placement and height of the masts.<\/p>\n

These are too high, but they are in roughly the right place, which is a step in the right direction, at least!<\/p>\n

\"WatchKeeper\"<\/a>

WatchKeeper<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m going to say that this is Great-Grandfather, on watch as his ship leaves the Tyne.<\/p>\n
