Hi Roger: Mr Carr was little hard to get to know. I had been shopping at Carr's when I lived in the region since the 70's. I have both the Fitzgerald kit and another wooden freighter which is described as a 1930's Ore Boat. When Mr Carr announced his retirement, he had a fairly lengthy sale at his store. When the store officially closed, Nordic Auction held two auctions in which they auctioned off the remaining items in the store and many of the collectables. When Jack passed away last year, Nordic Auction had another Auction of select items from what was described as Jack's personal collection. You are correct that when you entered Carr's he had a model of the Fitzgerald and of a Lake Class Freighter which was named "Jack". I was fortunately able to acquire that model at the auction. I do not know the disposition of the Fitzgerald. I know it was not part of the auctions, so some lucky family member or friend must have it. It was a beautiful model. For myself, I'm very happy to have the Model of the Lake Class Ship, since I admired it every time I entered the store which was always a very special place! PS I never did go into Curly's Bar! Dave

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.
