The Battleship (Cut)
 
This page is being used to collect information about the history of the paperfolding design known as the Battleship. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.

This design is developed from The King's Crown, with the addition of other elements to model the funnels and gun barrels (which are inserted into slits).

1928

As far as I know this design first appears in 'Fun with Paperfolding' by William D Murray and Francis J Rigney, which was published by the Fleming H Revell Company, New York in 1928.

1940

There is an illustration of the same design in 'Aus papier: gefaltet, gefalzt, geklebt', which was published by Deutscher Verlag in Berlin in 1940.
