    Thanks Keith , I will have to get it appraised , I would want it done right . it once was under glass a very long time ago found its of glass under years of dust . I know its not a close resemblance to resemblance to HMS Birkenhead but would of been made by a sailor on hearing about the disaster and he would just of know the Birkenhead as a frigate and never seen her . I always wondered why they where stood in rank and all had sad faces but it makes sense. I have tried to contact a few museums but just get (Sorry we don't comment on individual items) so don't know what to do

    Sorry if I have posted in the wrong section . First one is do you think its worth getting restored , broken masts and rigging , nothing else as it needs to be as original as possible. its a folk art / sailor work tall ship circa 1860 , It was suggested by Military Historian - there's a reasonably strong likelihood that it is meant to represent the loss of the HMS Birkenhead. And the Soldiers and Sailors on the ship are portraying The Birkenhead Drill . The ship is not in the best condition and is not much like the Birkenhead but he also said - Arguing against it is that she was also steam propelled and had paddle boxes. But this man was not working for Airfix making scale models or such like. He presumably would be passing time on long tedious sea voyages (or in old age). It was a massive global story of its day, so much so that legend has it that the King of Proosia [sic] had the story read out at the head of every regiment in the Prussian army. The second one is ( well not sure ) its a antique Spanish galleon made from plaster and wood I think this is an antique tourist piece Any help thanks

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.
