Hi again folks, this is more a push than a new question. Another area of research for the Club's build I am trying to clarify is around the Contract specification for a "Lang's emergency tiller". The only information I have found is by the Editor of the Nautical Magazine, Original Papers, January 1836, page 272, makes comment on the Lang ‘Emergency Tiller’ as follows: We understand that Mr. Lang has proposed a plan, which has been adopted, for a tiller, in case of the original one being carried away. A temporary iron tiller is supplied, being fitted to ship in the after part of the rudder above the water, and to be worked by guys leading up to each quarter. To the point: 1. Is anyone aware of an emergency tiller (physical) drawing of this tiller designed by Lang? 2. Has anyone seen an emergency tiller arrangement like this? My current disposition is for a simple iron rod with two eyes, one either side of the arm on the after end which is fitted to the trailing edge of the rudder above the waterline bu means of a slit cut into the end which can be bolted to the rudder as required. However, have bolt holes, even if filled with the bolts until the tiller is fitted, would allow seepage and possible rot in the wood? I have seen no drawings with device fitted permanently. Many thanks Pat

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
