The expedition ship of Willem Barentsz

At the end of the 16th century Willem Barentsz tried to sail to the East via a northern route - which means via the North Pole. Thick Ice and severe cold made it impossible to reach the East Indies, and Willem Barentsz and his crew had to spent the winter on the island Nova Zembla, in a small hut they called 'het Behouden Huys'

His ship did not survive the ice and only twelfe members of the crew managed to get home in two small boats one year later. Willem Barentsz himself died during the journey home.

His ship is a nice example of the small ships the Dutch used end 16th, beginning 17th century.

Fully scratch build, and then developped into a model kit - available via www.kolderstok.com

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.
