    On this 22-gun cutter-brig Mercury сaptain Robert Crown, a Scotsman in the Russian service, attacked the Swedish 44-gun frigate Venus in 1789 and was able to capture a superior enemy. Then Robert Crown commanded his prize - this frigate Venus. Therefore, in the Russian archives there are drawings of this frigate Venus, which served in the Russian fleet. So, I do not think that in the Swedish archive can be drawings of the cutter-brig Mercury. Although, who knows .. Although the cutter was bought in England, it could have been built in another country. I guess it was built in Denmark. I have not seen a similar drawing in the English archives. But something similar I could see in the Danish archive

    For my part should be explained. The photo shows a model from the Central Naval Museum in St. Petersburg. Model cutter with a brig sailing. The figure is the god Mercury. 1/24 scale Model made in the 19th century According to the museum, this is the model of the cutter-brig "Mercury", which was bought in England in 1788, and which in 1789 captured the Swedish frigate "Venus". I found in the archives information that after the purchase in England, this cutter was immediately sheathed with copper on the Thames River in private shipyards, why its arrival in the Baltic Sea was delayed a few months from the plan That is why I have a question. On the one hand there is a museum model with clinker, and on the other it is known for certain that there was a copper plating. And where is the truth? My personal opinion is that - probably, the creator of the model was wrong when he made clinker. Sailing equipment on the model is shown as of the 19th century, not at the time of purchase of the cutter in 1788 P.S. Long stored in a warehouse in the basement. The condition is very deplorable. Now the model is under reconstruction in the museum.

    Colleagues, what can you say about this particular question?
  4. greenstone
    This cutter-brig served in the Baltic Sea. The sea with colder waters and the paint should be White Stuff, as you wrote.

    Good afternoon, colleagues! I have an interesting question. Could a clinker-built cutter-brig of the late 18th century be sheathed with copper? There is one older model of a 96-foot-long cutter-brig in the marine museum of St. Petersburg with a clinker. Below the waterline is a dark brown color. Does it imitate copper plating or a protective paint?

    Dear colleagues, Tell me where can I find ship-modeling terms in German (for boat hulls) ? This is necessary for the correct translation of instructions. I would be very grateful for help

    in addition to my post Here is the approved coloring of the ship by the Russian emperor Alexander the First in 1824. This is an official document. I think the color of the board from the inside was on the brig Mercury This color looks like

    My regards! Brig Mercury (1820) had a specific color, as painted russian ships in the 20-30s of the 19th century We have a real image of the brig Mercury, which was painted by the navigator (sailing master) Prokofiev. He was on board during the battle with the Turkish ships. He is an eyewitness. This drawing is kept in The Central Naval Museum ( St. Petersburg, Russia) I note that under the gun ports was a narrow white stripe. The presence of this narrow strip is confirmed by other archival documents P.S. All other images of the brig are fake. None of the other artists (including Aivazovsky) have seen the brig in reality.

    Bob, Model Expo didn`t order this kit. Maybe you should make them pre-order. But GK-Modelbau will have the yawl in store. They ordered ten kits of the yawl yesterday. So I advise you to hurry up, if you need this kit now or or from the next batch. Regards, Eugene
