    In a couple of footnotes in this book, Mr. Walker notes that the museum has recently purchased a model of the 120-gun HMS Trafalgar of 1841 for the NA collection. I believe this was the model. Looks like their model of HMS Royal Adelaide: https://www.bonhams.com/auction/23232/lot/61/a-dockyard-presentation-model-of-the-120-gun-ship-of-the-line-hms-trafalgar-circa-1841-75-12-x-25-12-x-57-in-cased/

    Were Harpy's carronades 32-pounders or 24-pounders? Wiki says 32's, but that's a lot of metal for a brig of a fifth less tonnage than a Cruiser to carry.

    Brian Lavery redrew a simplified model plan "profile" for the Centurion in Volume 1 of his The Ship of the Line series from the 1980's.

    Thanks Mike. I just ordered my copy of Vol 2! The beloved Admiral will not be amused .... I should add that I just checked Abe Books, and used copies of Volume 1 range from about $1.6K to $2.6K ...

    Sarasota, Florida to Searsport, Maine .... according to Google ... a 1,604 mile commute, taking 24 hours. Do you reimburse for gasoline? I ask because I have a V8 Mustang.

    Why would anyone chose 1/86 as a scale these days?

    Apple-wood carves very well and is cheap and plentiful. August Crabtree carved almost exclusively in apple.

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.
