Nautical Research Guild

Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.
Cruizer-class Brig-Sloops of the Royal Navy

Whew! I am so glad that Providence led me across this page! Thank you guys for all of the research that you are talking about! Man.
I wrote a fantasy pirate book that has a brig-sloop in it. Even though it is fantasy, I want it to be grounded in reality. I wrote into the book(already published) that it had a small prow platform and poop, based on the image of the HMS Pelorus. Then my editor and I went to go back and update my book and I came across so many descriptions of cruiser class brig-sloops that were without the platforms.
Regardless, thank you all so much. I can rest now that I know that I am not completely off base.
