    Hi Ed, I'm a new member and was advised to find your Young America build, which I did. It's a magnificent piece of work, and truly does justice to its subject and her designer. You may have the information already, but Carl Cutler in his Five Hundred Sailing Records of American-Built Ships reports that Young America made a passage of 96 days from Liverpool to San Francisco, 10.12.1872 to 01.20.1873. He notes that "But for unusual calms in South Pacific and 100 miles from port, her passage would have set a remarkable record." Remarkable in any case for a ship that by then had seen almost 20 years of hard sailing.

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.
