    Thanks, everyone. I happened upon this book: "Ships and Seamanship: The Maritime Prints of JJ Baugean" by John Harland, and there is a section of ship building and repair in it. Beautiful prints, and great first-hand evidence. Really lucky to find this book: I was passing a second hand bookstore downtown, and there it was in the window. can$40, which is not bad.

    Thanks! I went to the library today, and "Building the Wooden Ship" was available, and I got it - very interesting book. :-) And the documentary is awesome! I visited the Batavia shipyard at Lelystad in the Netherlands last summer, and learned quite a lot about the ongoings there as well.

    I am starting my first build of the Naval Cutter Alert, and I'd like to recreate all stages of construction at the shipyard, similar to the low-polygon project at http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33757&f=81 What books or other sources of information are the primary sources to learn more about the actual building process at the shipyards? The Alert was built in Dover, and then sheathed with copper in a graving dock as Deptford. Good to know, but can anyone point me towards visual guides of the building techniques at that time for a smaller ship like the Alert? Also, where can I find information about the wharfes themselves (layout, buildings, machinery, etc)?

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.
