Hello,

I am desperately looking for P-line ship's standing and running rigging.
in particular how and where the are attached to the hull. If I may ask
for photos of the steering house and roof.

Not really sure what P-line ships are


Neither am I.

What are 'P-line' ships?

I meant to google yesterday but got too busy, then forgot ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_P-Liner

The Flying P-Liners were the sailing ships of the German
shipping company ... their ships had names starting with
"P" and they became known as "the P-line".

I see. Not a class of ships but a shipping line then, and four of them still
around. Shouldn't be too hard to help but I will wait for Spelunko to come
back and be more specific.
