    Thank you. I have ordered a copy of The First Destroyers. It looks interesting.

    I have just retired at age 70 and hope to have time and patience to indulge in my interests. I am working on a Model Shipways kit Sultana, using Chuck Passaro's "shop notes". The project is currently stalled, but I intend to get it going again. I have become interested in the period 1860 (HMS. Warrior) and 1906 (HMS. Dreadnought), in particular Torpedo Boats and Torpedo Boat Destroyers. The Whitehead torpedo was the first new naval weapon since they started putting guns on ships at the end of the Middle Ages, and I am interested in how navies adjusted to the change. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find much material on them, in particular plans. As my skill increases I would like to model one. I would appreciate any help I can get.

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.
