  4. Dordreght VOC Retour ship 1618

    During the Voyage of the Batavia to East India Francisco Pelsaert shipwrecked on the Australian coast. Before he was Skipper on the Batavia he was in charge of a sister ship - the Dordreght.
    The Dordreght was built in 1618 on the Peperwerf in Amsterdam. She was about 150 Amsterdam feet w.i. roughly 43 meters. On her stern was the maiden of Dordrecht, and this statue (from 1616) is still on the Groothoofdspoort of the city of Dordrecht.
    Fully scratch build, but I am planning to make a model kit of her in future.

  6. The expedition ship of Willem Barentsz

    At the end of the 16th century Willem Barentsz tried to sail to the East via a northern route - which means via the North Pole. Thick Ice and severe cold made it impossible to reach the East Indies, and Willem Barentsz and his crew had to spent the winter on the island Nova Zembla, in a small hut they called 'het Behouden Huys'
    His ship did not survive the ice and only twelfe members of the crew managed to get home in two small boats one year later. Willem Barentsz himself died during the journey home.
    His ship is a nice example of the small ships the Dutch used end 16th, beginning 17th century.
    Fully scratch build, and then developped into a model kit - available via www.kolderstok.com

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.
