    I'm restoring a pirate ship built in the early 1900. the ship was built by three inmates in a Georga prison. The ship is 5.6 feet long 14 inch wide and 5 ft high. no sail plank on frame construction the ship was quite dirty. I also had a Fiji mermaid to restore. a small ship that needs work and new sails and a raft I removed all the cannon and deck furniture. and rigging wash the ship with soap and water.

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.
