He has since become a reference work with collectors of old weapons and has been the subject of two reissues and This activity having led him to attend assiduously the Army Museum, he agreed to assume the chairmanship of its board of directors, a position he held until The gun ship In addition to his work on portable armaments, Jean Boudriot is interested in artillery and in particular in naval artillery.
This meeting gave birth to a rich collaboration4 and the latter opened without restriction the doors of the museum and its reserves to study the armament of the Navy. During the sixties, his research on naval artillery will lead him to be interested in the ships which carried this artillery and more precisely those of the period which extends from to , period which he will qualify as "Classic" in reference to terrestrial architecture.
He will therefore study the major construction treaties such as that of Duhamel du Monceau, Vial de Clairbois and many other authors in order to acquire in-depth knowledge of naval architecture of the time. He also assiduously attends the National Archives, the Historical Service of the Navy and consults the numerous manuscripts available at the National Library or in the archives of the ports.
Following the same approach as that which he adopted for weapons, he decided to study a particular ship by applying to detail it in an exhaustive way in a work which will present the stages of its construction. He sets out to describe a gun vessel, a typical vessel from the s. In addition to the texts, this description is based on a careful examination of the models kept in national museums and more particularly on that of a large model.
This statement will serve as a graphic basis for the illustration of the work called "Le Vaisseau de 74 cannons", the writing of which will require four volumes and ten years of work. On this occasion, he slips into the shoes of the designers of the time and invests himself as for a real construction project. The subject is organized in a way that follows the logic of construction with the description of the frame and that of the equipment of the hull, ending with the rigging.
These three major stages correspond to the first three volumes, the vessel thus being fully described. The fourth volume deals more specifically with men and the use of the vessel, it also presents a glossary of 1, specific terms.
At the end of this first edition, he resumes his rights and ensures the following re-editions himself. The monographs Jean Boudriot quickly realizes that the majority of his readers4 are model makers looking for rigorous and reliable documents. He then decided to continue his work on naval archeology, opening his research to other buildings by offering complementary works.
The information available in "The gun vessel" is a reference, so it draws on these sources by detailing the particularities of the other buildings.
These monographs consist of a booklet which describes the chosen vessel which is placed in its historical context and a set of detailed plans5 drawn separately which illustrate the construction. These sets of plans which, in most of the monographs, show the entire framework, are the basis for the work of the arsenal model making.
All these publications are based on first-hand information, collected, as for Le Vaisseau de 74 canons in period documents, systematically ruling out modern sources. It should be noted that these works are not model works but the rigorous representation of real buildings.
This series of seventeen monographs grouped under the name of "French Naval Archaeological Collection" illustrates a large part of the categories of ships existing in the French navy of the classical period.
They enhance the subject by the contribution of numerous knowledge on the naval archeology which they contain and which, until then, had been a little forgotten. To these publications were added five historical reference works on the Navy, dealing more generally with frigates and vessels, sea artillery and uniforms of the Royal Navy. Finally, two books present, through numerous generously commented photographs, the models kept in French national museums.
Translations into English are being developed by David Roberts. Other translations are emerging Italian, Spanish, German. At the same time, J. Boudriot and H. This type of model making endeavors to reproduce in the most rigorous way the construction of ships. Other activites In addition to his research, Jean Boudriot has led since and for more than thirty years in collaboration with Eric Rieth, a seminar in naval archeology which is held at the Maritime Museum every Monday evening. He has also collaborated in numerous specialized or general journals Neptunia7, La Gazette des pommes, various historical journals, etc.
