Hello Everyone, Several years after the excavation, we think we have enough information to attempt the reconstruction model of this early steamboat. The excavation provided some wonderful information about the hull up to and including the deck and Dr. Kevin Crisman's research has provided the details of the appearance and arrangement of the upper works. I've already started on two 1:24 waterline models for the Oklahoma Historical Society. The finished models will be complete reconstructions with cutaways highlighting the machinery and other artifacts recovered during the excavation on the hull. The next couple of months I will be focusing on the engine and boilers. The research is ongoing and I'd love input from anyone interested in steamboats and steam engines. Although we have a good idea about the overall appearance and layout of the vessel, there is very little info out there about construction details, joinery etc. I would like to make these detailed and accurate as possible so any ideas that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

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.
