Thank you for the recent interest. I don't know if this design has a European  beginning or not. These were used in the Great Lakes and coastal waters during the War of 1812. They rode so low the square riggers couldn't aim their cannon low enough to hit them. However they were vulnerable to musket fire. Apparently it was difficult to find seamen to crew them.

 

Even a few years after completion I still find it an interesting model to look at.

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.
