A polychrome bust-length figurehead of a male sailor in 'square rig' from the 12-gun sailing brig HMS Daring (1844)

Normally it was scantily clad women who adorned the bow of a ship as they were considered to be the protector of the ship or the personification of the same. And only their appearance made it possible to calm the sea and bring the crew safely from A to B. In Victorian times, more and more men were called in, because as long as they were good-looking or even heroes, they were also able to calm the sea, even if not as well as their female counterparts.

More LOST DISNEY ART. (Brush Pen Ink and Watercolor 1994) I know... the title is a little "click-baity". Technically this work is not lost -- I'm sure the originals are buried somewhere in the vaults at Imagineering, but these drawings haven't been seen in nearly 30 years. It was before the digital age, so hard copies of these drawings remained in my flat file tucked away inside a manilla folder mis-labelled "Tokyo roughs". I found them by chance while going through my files looking for theme park work for my website, www.vignalistudio.com The Big Idea: Legendary Disney Imagineer Eddie Sotto had come up with an idea called Pirate's Island where we were going to revamp Tom Sawyer Island (TSI) at Disneyland and turn it into a pirate's lair. This was back in 1994, waaay before the Pirates of the Caribbean movies... so the idea was truly ahead of its time. At the center Eddie imagined there would be a large cavern where the pirates had brought their booty, and in it was built a bar where guests could dine. Eddie had asked me to come up with some ideas for things to put in the bar, I sketched out several things...and that's when I thought of these lovely ship's figureheads. I worked them out in color so we could add this to our pitch. I even remember I had roughed out the entire bar and was planning to do one of those large drawings of the interior... unfortunately soon afterwards the project was scrapped. Eddie's Pirate's Island was a great idea that was short lived... but the big-idea was so strong that when the Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out this idea resurfaced and TSI was finally turned into Pirate's Lair. Working with Eddie was one of the highlights at Disney Imagineering. His imagination and energy was infectious, and his ability to ideate with a pen really did teach me the importance of moving quickly to visualize the entire project.

When and why did the US Navy stop putting figureheads on their ships?

It was between 1909 and 1910, when the Great White Fleet returned from its World Cruise.

The Navy learned a lot about having ocean going versus coastal defense vessels. It's important to remember, before 1880, the US Navy did not rank in the top 10. The US government had neglected the Navy and its ships had been allowed to deteriorate after the civil war. Between 1880 and 1910, the US Navy was playing a lot of catch up with other Navies, especially with the British Royal Navy.

As to why, I believe it was mainly aesthetic reasons and keeping up with trends. The white and buff with the figure heads were old fashioned.

The Royal Navy had switched to the new scheme around the time as HMS Dreadnought was commissioned and it kinda became synonymous with her. Like other countries, the US wanted to be seen as a major power and so switched to the medium grey scheme at the same time as the Great White Fleet was modernized in 1909-10.

But I will say, something was lost when they removed the gold leaf figure head/bow decor.

Thanks for the ask.

The steamer Astrid from 1872 is in poor condition, but her figurehead remains intact.

On the high seas sails the Brown Treader, lead by the infamous Captain Whack. It rises and lowers on the perilous waves of the Balantic and Redian Oceans, looking for any scraps and cargo to loot for themselves...

I've been working on this on and off for a while but finally I've got a cover for the story/roleplay me and my friend are co-writing together, featuring the main and secondary characters as well as the mysterious villain and Silverclaw's beloved Devil on the background.

All in all, really proud of how it turned out, hopefully at some point it could serve as a title to what I assume will become a fully fledged webcomic at some point in the future.

A rare and near-perfect wooden carved ship figurehead was caught in the nets of a shrimp boat off a small Dutch island, and it tells a tale of war, freedom and the Inquisition!
