Nautical Research Guild

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.

For those of you who do not speak Italian, here is the translation:
"All the details of the boat C di Pisa S rossore "Alkedo" (seagull) which I have recently completed in 1:32 scale. Pleasure boat with sails and oars from the Augustan age which was probably built for a nobleman who wanted a different and more beautiful boat than the usual work boats. After a visit to the Ship Museum of Pisa and a thorough historical research that began with reading the guide by Andrea Camilli who oversaw the research on the wrecks of Pisa, I decided to start rebuilding following the construction plans of Marco Bonino. Also in the photo are some images of the wreck exhibited at the Ship Museum in Pisa.
