Possibly. I'll still stay with how every other model and painting of the Soleil Royal shows the launches stored. I've written quite an interesting treatise the other day about the prevalence of "this was only done this way" on the Internet based on flimsy evidence, half-sentences and repetition, often easily proved false with a simple short search. The "German Pope of Model Ship Building", Mondfeld, is a prime example of providing oft-quoted, but ultimately incorrect, "absolute truths". I may translate it at some point.
