	Angra D wreck
		The sternpost assembly was only physically attached to the wreck by the keelson and the keel, all outboard and inboard plankings thorn around that line of fracture.
		The rake of the sternpost was measured and found to be circa 70º, with sixteen frames recorded in the tail section, as well as several cant frames, deadwood and outboard planking.
		The structural integrity of the sternpost assembly permitted its complete lifting as a whole, without having to be dismantled, as soon as the keel and keelson were sawed.

	The Naval Frigate Birger Jarl
		It appeared to be the central, vertical part of the sternpost of a middlesized carvel-built vessel with a stern construction of the type shown in Fig.
		The metal button which was pressed between facing surfaces of the sternpost and the keel was possibly placed there on purpose in connection with some unknown ship-building tradition, similar to placing a coin minted during the year of construction under the mast of vessel.
		Had the sternpost belonged to a Swedish naval vessel, as suggested by the button, the wisest course was to begin studies at the War Records Office (Krigsarkivet) in Stockholm, where most Swedish documents of a military historical nature are kept.

		If you have a traditionally build boat whose sternpost and deadwoods are large chunks of semi-seasoned oak, it obviously wouldn't be sensible to rely on a tube bonded in with epoxy.
		If the designer hasn't made allowance for the extra diameter in sizing the sternpost and deadwoods, it is easy to find there is very little wood left either side of the hole.
		When ordering fibreglass sterntubes bear in mind that the tube must project outboard of the sternpost about one third the bearing length in order to provide access to the locking screws that hold the bearing in place, and also to get the propeller far enough back for good water flow.

	W.P. Stephens - Rudders
		In another plan a false stern was made fitting the sternpost, to which it was fastened, but straight on its after edge, to which the rudder was hung.
		For many years the sternposts have been straight, though mostly set at an angle to the keel, as in the old Shadows, giving a good support for a rudder.
		With this form of rudder, shown in the large plates of canoes, a tricing line is sometimes used, being made fast to the rudder, and running over a sheave in the sternpost at deck, by means of which the rudder may be raised in shoal water.

	The Coal Wreck

		The top of the sternpost appears to have been cut flat, which may indicate that the post is fairly intact.

		The sternpost and through-beams were also of cypress, the planking of pine, the frames elm, and the tenons oak.
		An outer, false sternpost was nailed to the main post, and probably a false keel, or "shoe," was similarly attached to the keel.
		Rabbets were cut into the sides of the keel, the stempost, and (presumably) the sternpost for seating the garboard strakes.

		Part of the sternpost was preserved, and was found with two stealers with carved out continuations of the strakes 2, 3, 4 and 5, 6 respectively.
		The sternpost was of the V-sectioned type also known from Skuldelev 3, and it was found some distance away from the coherent wreck portions.
		It has been possible to arrive at a reconstruction of the ship on the basis of the plank runs in the bottom half, in combination with scanty wreckage from the sides and the curvature of the sternpost.
