Areal growth pines ship - the territory ruled by the harsh climate.Pine forests settled in the taiga.Pines overgrown mountain ranges.Many of them grow in the mild climate, for example, in the Crimea.
Due to growth in the northern latitudes of the cold climate, pine - pine tree - has a unique timber with excellent physical and mechanical properties.The breed is a popular building material.
Morphology
Ship pine belongs to the genus of evergreen conifers.It has a soft narrow needle or needles.Needles are gathered in small bunches (2-5 pieces), unizyvayuschie ends of short shoots.In ripened cones that grew to a length of 3-10 centimeters, hiding oreshkovidnye seeds, which are almost all equipped with winglets.
light-loving trees that have deep and strong root system usually form a homogeneous plantations - pine groves.For habitats, they prefer dry quartz sand, devoid of fertile humus, peat soil and sphagnum bogs.
excellent ductility of the root system, the intensive development of the roots and their ability to capture the essential areas of soil strata and penetrate into its deep layers, as well as the ability osilivat new places with negative properties cause adaptability to various types of soils.
Feature tree
wood of this plant with a tall straight trunks are characterized by a particular strength, hardness and resinous.This is the perfect wood for shipbuilding.From here came the name "tall pines" - trees with certain properties.And the forests where mainly grow pines, called "ship groves" or "mast forests."Ships constructed from these trees, called "floating pine tree."
height of the trees, reaching half a meter in girth, often selected to 70 meters.On the surface, their slender trunks almost no knots.The increased value of the wood of this plant is still in the fact that there is almost no flaws, it has a kind of beautiful natural pattern, the original invoice.
varied color palette of wood.It largely depends on the conditions, which grow tall pines, a photo of which is always impressive.The color is whitish-yellow, reddish and brown shades.Products from it are high quality and decorative.
Pine wood has a high density.It is 1.5 times more than conventional pines.Also, it is not prone to warping, excellent swimmer.Felled trunks of plants easily fused on the rivers, rugged taiga.
resinous substances that produce tall pines in large quantities, it protects derived from materials (logs, beams, planks, etc.) from rot, fungi and parasitic species.Facilities are much more durable than other tree species.
Lines ship pines
suitable for shipbuilding three kinds of pine trees: yellow, red (Rudow) and white (myandovye).In the yellow pines, ascending to 50-70 meters up, lightweight, durable, strong and elastic timber.Because it is made of mast elements.
red pine, protracted northern expanses of the Russian band, its dry towns and hills, are used in the manufacture of wood paneling used in the interior design of ships.From it makes decking.She upholster the inside of the sides, bilge compartment size cabin panels and so on.
Wood white pine, preferring marshy and flooded the area with water, used for temporary jobs.It applies where there is no need to comply with special durability and strength.Materials from a timber suitable for building the temporary forest, templates, coasters and other items.Determine what kind of a picture pine tree picture is unlikely to help.For this purpose, we need wood saw cut.
use in shipbuilding
Shipbuilders specially used different parts of the trunks.Vessels built in accordance with the natural sign.Important details were made of the barrel facing north.It is possible to obtain a solid and durable design elements.After all, a tree on the north side gets at least the heat and sun.This means that the wood taken from the north side, grained, it is more density.
most smooth wood fibers endowed with deprived lower branches pine.Tree height and smooth, flawless barrels, allows to obtain logs of keels and long board with a smooth surface.
The sailors of bygone eras used not only for the construction of timber plants Water Transport, and resin.They impregnated her sails and ropes, patched slots in different boats.As a result, we received a strong durable ships rigging.From mighty tall, slender pines constructed ships for the Navy of the Russian Empire.
Mast trees
highest tall pines with strong straight trunks are ideal for the manufacture of masts of sailing ships.They are incredibly hard and resinous wood especially strong in the central part of the trunk, where is located the core of the tree.
outer layers of the sapwood and core different color.At the core more intense color than the sapwood.Tone color core depend on the conditions of growth of the trees.
Security mast forests
to the ship's forests have been under high demands on the time of Peter I. withThey are grown according to certain rules, exercising strict care.After all, in the bran is the least 12 inches (48-54 centimeters) must have this pine.Photo of a tree of this size is perfectly shows his greatness.
growth pines to the desired value takes a lot of time.In this connection, when Peter I issued a decree imposing a ban on the felling of pine forests suitable for shipbuilding.It reserved the plants carried all 12 Vershkova trees.For violation of the order imposed huge fines.For each illegally cut down trees had to give 10 rubles fine (while a peck of rye costs only 15-20 cents).
also that pine forests attributed to the reserved forests, Peter I made a decision to laying mast pine.He realized that the ship pines and oaks grow for centuries.Free rapid deforestation threatened their destruction.To protect the pine forest from destruction, the emperor established state control over its use.
