    I was stationed in the Tidewater area my last year in the Navy, tiny place called Northwest, VA. When I got out I lived in Poquoson for about 3 1/2 years before returning home to NY. Love the south, but for better or worse, NY is home and it was a long drive from VA and my mom was in failing health, so back we came. I used to visit the Mariner's Museum in Newport News fairly regularly, one of my neighbors must have been a member or something. He did restoration work on some of the models there. I took some pics when they were having a contest there. Hahn's continental frigate Hancock was there and I got to meet August Crabtree. Quite a treat!

      Man, Northwest VA is in the middle of nowhere. I live on the peninsula and Poquoson is also in middle of nowhere...LOL. I saw Hahn's frigate there in the first Scale ship model contest. I think he won. I met Hahn there. I also met Crabtree on several occasions, he was an exceptional talent. I man the ship modelers booth at the Museum on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. If you're in town try and drop by.

      If there is an actual town of Northwest I don't remember it, just the Navy base. Our operations building was in North Carolina. I lived in Deep Creek while I was stationed there, my last year in.

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.
