What is the most commonly used method of building Great Lakes ore carriers such as the Wilfred Sykes, etc.? I'm already in my planning mode for a winter model making project but have never made a lake vessel from scratch. I'm thinking that either the plank on frame or bread and butter construction are most commonly used. Or are most of the hulls of these models made from a single block of wood? I have done some fiberglass modeling, but since I intend to build a static model, I don't think I would use that technique. Thanks for any replies.
