Amistad Schooner, 1839

Scratch built 1:96 scale model of the infamous Amistad slave ship.  A basswood solid hull was carved and planked with basswood strips.  Basswood deck; bamboo masts and spars; and thin copper sheet were used.  The brick works are paper card.  I built this in the late 1990s, but do not think I have ever displayed it before.

Post says that there are 24 images, but I cannot find them.  I teach about the Amistad Mutiny in Connecticut and have been on board the replica Freedom Ship Amistad.  Thanks for your time.

Hi Robert,

 

I am looking into this for someone else and noticed your comment.

There are indeed 24 pictures posted, but I don't know why you can't see them.  If I find out why, I will let you know.

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.
