    I've looked through all my books and my collection of old Model Shipbuilder magazines but I have never seen any information about details of the Captains' Cabin for ships of war built during the late 1700's. I'm curious how the furniture was broken down and stored when clearing for action. I know that some captains had their possessions placed in a gig and dropped behind the ship, but I'm looking for furniture locations and how it was broke down and removed. Books or articles with pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any suggestions anyone may offer, DavidMil

    Not new to the model ship building art, but new to this site. So I wanted to say hello to everyone! HELLO! I made my first model when I was 12, I carved a 6" x 3" x 3" piece of balsa wood into a ruff copy of the Bonhomme Richard. Ended up putting lead sinkers in the bottom of the hull to keep it from tipping over ever time the wind blew. Many years later I did Revels' plastic Constitution and the Cutty Sark. My first wooden model was the Marseille (I had a seamstress make the sails). My wife grew up on the Ohio River so I made her a Robert E. Lee. My latest model was the beautiful Syren. Totally I've made 11 ship models (if you count the two plastic and one balsa wood ships). Currently working on the Rattlesnake for my youngest son. I'm retired now so I have lots of time... David

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.
