Odds and ends. The first photo is interesting as it provides views of the Admiral and Captain's quarters. The next two photos were not taken by Hatton and Hart. The last photo is the album cover by Hatton and Hart of the Tennessee, there are only two known to exist. I think most if not all of photos of the Tennessee in that album are included in these four post.

Starboard side views. Dup The last photo was provided by Pat Banyan. It's the earliest deck photo of the Tennessee that I know of. Photographer unknown.

Port side views. I find this photo interesting as it shows someone's child and someone's dog I find the last photo interesting as it shows someone's child and someone's dog.

These are all the photos and two drawings I have of the Tennessee. Hopefully they provide interest and insight. I'll make four entries; profiles, port side view, starboard side view, center view, and odds and ends. Unfortunately there are no photos taken from the main mast forward, most all were taken around the mizzen area. Profiles This photo is either of the USS Madawaska (later renamed USS Tennessee in 1869) being laid down or the USS Tennessee being broken up?

Lynn, the H&H photos with crew in them are really neat. I've been meaning to post all the Hatton and Hart photos in one posting, I promise to do so soon.

Pat, I couldn't get Glen to add penguins in his Aurora build and now you want him to add smoke AND flying cannon balls!? Glen, will I be able to get your daily schedule there at the funny farm so I'll know when's a good time to come visit?

And a cry rose up from the crowd, "smoke, smoke, smoke"...........we'd find you playing hide and seek at the funny farm if you tried putting little puffs on the barrels of 62 cannon.

Thank you, Gary. It's a 1949. It was one of those 'I just have to have it' moments. I restored it, showed it a few times during Heritage Day here in town and now wish it was in someone else's backyard.

Heck yeah, Glen, laminating layers worked out great.

Gary, what a mesmerizing pattern the ribs and the hull make. The shadows are consistent emphasizing the spacing consistency of the ribs and planks, very well done. Neat little Case tractor. A few trips thought the fields and that seam flash will take care of itself. I'm a bit partial to em.

Luke, welcome to MSW. Model ship building will definitely provide a challenge. Wishing you great success.

Eric, thank you for responding. Great suggestions. I suggested making the hole slightly larger for fine adjustment knowing that the mast would need to be shimmed for its final position. This is the way I did it because I knew there was no way I was going to be able drill the hole accurately. By slightly larger I meant a tenth of an inch.

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.
