    Rob, Vladimir et all,

    Michael Mjelde or as he prefers Mike, has come through for us again. Months ago I literally stumbled on a rare scene of the old McKay Clipper Ship Glory of the Seas depicted in a cork insulation company ad buried deep in an Insulation business magazine. I shared the blurry picture with Mike just in case he hadn't seen it before. He casually mentioned that he had an original of the same picture in his files and voila! here it is. Since the original arrived positioned vertical with slightly more surrounding white space, I rotated it and cropped some of the white, leaving the entire image intact. Second scene is my 4th edit, primarily to enable her lovely Grecian goddess Athena figurehead to be seen closer. A portion of her lower left leg and entire right arm below the shoulder are both missing. As an artist, I would love to make a painting of this scene, recreating her entire, impressively lofty rig, depicting some of her enormous sails as she's towed into her ending berth at San Francisco.

      Beautiful.  Not bulbus entry....but a clean sharp clipper bow.

      Hi Rob,

      Mike agreed with me that this is a lovely angle and he requested I share it with the group.

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.
