<P><FONT SIZE=2>You can't just turn cents into BB, and modern terms is very misleading due to industrialization.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I would suggest that you try and find sites that give prices in medieval times. (Domesday book is one source). </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Again, if you follow from the contruction rules I submitted, price is based on the cost of labor, since the trees are "free". </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Well finally making some progress in ships. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>With sites recommended by Burton I was able to find the data I believe will</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>help in the long run. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A Board Foot is the basic unit for timber and ship construction. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I foun a pdf where a Galley requires 300 heacre of oak forest and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>122 confier. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Based on that I was able to come up with finally a conversion factor</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of 747.5 (roughly) BF in 1 Hectacre. Based on this I could determine</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>it takes 315445 BF to build the galley (basic hull structure).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Another site I determined a BF is 93 cents in modern terms. So let's say</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>93 BB in pnp. Course this vary by supply/demand and port, etc. But using</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>93 BB</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>this comes up with a value of 29,336 and change in Gold to just build the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hull structure in wood (not including Nails :)). </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This also jives with other materials I've found on costs for a galley. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Using this material and others I can then base a system for construction</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>costs on these factors. So its progress.</FONT>
