Ships: Research, Recording and Reconstruction

External applications are now open for our popular topic Ships: Research, Recording and Reconstruction, scheduled from 17-21 September 2018.

This topic provides students with the theoretical and practical training necessary for researching ships and ship construction. Students will develop an in-depth knowledge of recording, representing and interpreting ship construction. Students should expect to learn nautical terminology, the basic components of a ship and activities aboard, principles of ship construction and rigging, procedures for taking and drafting ship lines and construction plans, hull analysis, procedures for graphic representation of hulls and principles of reconstructing ships.  This topic is challenging, demanding and hands-on; students are expected to participate fully in problem-solving exercises.

This topic will be taught in the intensive mode (one week) and SCUBA diving qualifications are not required for participation.

The course is open to non-Flinders student for the cost of tuition. Credit for the course may be applied to home universities. This is also an excellent opportunity for current practicing professionals interested in staff development training.
