== Biography ==
Born in 1924, James Lees served both in the Royal Navy aboard destroyers and on tankers in the Merchant Navy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625-1860 )〕
In addition to his active service, Lees (often referred to as "Jim") had a passion for ship modelling, leading him to construct and restore many models of historic vessels. Many of these are displayed across the world, most notably at the collection of the National Maritime Museum, of which Lees was curator and Senior Conservation Officer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Warship (1588); Galleon; Spanish (SLR0359) )〕 His expertise on model restoration was utilised on items in "The Tradescant Collection", held at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford.
Lees’ 1979 publication ''The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War: 1625–1860'', drawn from 15 years of research, is widely regarded as an authority and the definitive study of its respective field. The author’s intention was to "assist restorers of marine paintings in the difficult task of replacing obliterated rigging, as well as providing a handbook of technical information for the maritime and war historian".〔
