    Hi Bava, Hilhouse built the Termagent speculatively on the new Hilhouse shipyard at Redclift, after he built the Privateer Ship Mars ( 1779 cooper sheathed) Both were based on the plans of Ceres 1777. Hilhouse knew the good sailing qualities of the Ceres from his former work at the Royal Shipyards in Chatham and Woolwich. From Mars, there is a print of Pocock and a shipyard model of her held by the Bristol Museums, Galeries & Archives

    Hello , Thanks for the posts regarding the Privateer Marines . I find it interesting that so far no one on the possibly only book on the subject has reference ... The book I've found recently , but unfortunately not purchased because of the price .So unfortunately I can not contribute anything substantial on the subject MARINES OF THE Privateers - WAR OF 1812 McClellan , Edwin N. - Major , U.S. Marine Corps , Officer in Charge, Historical Section Ps: Frolick thanx ! I will look for The Republic's Private Navy: The American Privateering Business as Practiced in Baltimore During the War of 1812

    Hello , an interesting discussion. I have a question and think here is the right place to ask. On the Muster Roll of the Prince de Neufchatel Marines are listed.. http://www.1812privateers.org/Privateers/crew.html Were the members of the U.S. Marine Corps or special privately funded Privateer Marines ?

    Hi! After Irving King The Coast Guard under Sail 1989 80 tonner: Surprise in 1815 Dallas 1821 Crawford 1821 all built in New York 51 tonner: Louisiana 1819 Alabama 1819 all built in New York and probably Search 1815 Newport, Rhode Island Detector 1815 Newport, Rhode Island Wasp in 1815 and a second Detector 1815 Portland, Maine Without warranty, because of the quick look I threw in the book. King, unlike Chapelle,.calls his sources. And these sources seem convincing to me. An interesting book whose purchase is also worth due to small anecdotes from the life of the ships.

    Thanks for the review Wayne The book is one of my favorite books about ships of the early U.S. Navy. And for a while I wanted to build models of the two ships.

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.
