    I've been trying to get a response from the USS Constitution Museum's website and Public Historian (or anyone) about the gun port netting. All I get is silence. Was it added as a modern safety devise like the sprinkler systems, lighting, etc. or is it part of the ship's fittings? In other words, do I make it part of my model or not?

     

    Thanks

      Great question.  My sense is that it is a modern safety feature, but I do not know how far back they started to use them.

       

      Depending on the time period you are modeling they may be included or not.

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.
