    Hi Frank, somehow I missed your log. This is outstanding, and really an inspiration. I'll be watching it now.

    Very nice work. Athens is one of my favorite cities. Been there many times, and spent 6 weeks there in 1972 while in the US Navy. I was on the aircraft carrier John F Kennedy.

    Hi Robert, did the shipyard go on strike? Haven't heard from you in a while....

    Hi Jason, It is a real shame that these magnificent models can't be viewed and enjoyed. Some of these models appear to be of ships of the 16-17th century, and are huge, like 6' long and extremely detailed with carvings and decorations, the wood is dark with age and it would be wonderful to see the details and skills of our predecossors. What's also sad is if you didn't know they were there you would completely miss them. There is absolutely no advertisement to this inside the Seaport grounds. I was fortunately introduced to the director of the Morgan project and as we were discussing my construction of the model, he told me of the building across the street, and made an appointment for us to go there and view the models, otherwise I wouldn't have even known of them.

    Hi Verne, I'm enjoying seeing how you're handling the fibre optics and lanterns. I may attempt to do the same sometime.

    Thanks Wayne, I didn't have time to research again for the contact information yesterday. My only critique is that they have so many models in their vault that they are just lined up side by side on shelves behind closed steel doors that are electronically controlled by the chaperone. They are hard to view for just a visit. I think they will take one out for you to view and study if you request and have a "need", however there are no photographs allowed. I enjoyed seeing them anyway, and they are all inclusive from 200 year old models to modern day, and practically any style ship you can imagine.

    Wow Dave, I never cease to be amazed at your work. Exceptional.

    Hi Jay, yes they sell copies of any plans you want. The set for the Morgan would be $40. I don't know how they price other sets, but they are very helpful. The two ladies working there are terrific, and you can call them for info. I think their names are Marieanne and Carol. Their office is in the Collections and Research Building across the street from the North entrance to Mystic Seaport. They are not inside the Park. It is a red brick building that looks like an old warehouse...very deceiving. Be sure to call ahead for an appointment as it's the only way you'll get in to see the vault where the models and artifacts are located. Yeah, we're having a great trip. Currently in Charleston, SC., then to St. Augustine, Fl.

    Hi Mike, glad you're enjoying the build. Good luck with your Morgan of the future. That sounds really cool using ebony. Please try to get it done before 15 years or I might be too old to see it or worse yet remember what it is...lol. I'll be glad to get back in the shipard and accomplish some building some day.

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.
