    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.

    The HMS Shannon is indeed part of the collection, and is a fifth-rate 38, built in 1806. Asked any modeler to name a ship in the Rogers collection, and 95% will say, if they can, the Fair American, thanks to Modelshipways. As for the Shannon, please ship to 54:20 of this Naval Academy video. That's the HMS Shannon model standing in for HMS Guerriere: Note that he mentions the Minerva. That is in reference to another model shown earlier. He calls her "unidentified", but the catalog says "Shannon", and she was allegedly purchased from the estate of Shannon's captain, Phillip Broke. Hopefully, she is covered as an "unidentified frigate", circa 1812. I think she is the fir-built sister-class of the Shannon, the Eurotas Class of 1812, modified with a victory figurehead. The model has a square tuck stern.

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.
