    Thank you for this. I will give the Treatise a careful examination!

    No, the holes are straight-sided.

    Just stumbled upon this: https://www.royal-arsenal-history.com/departments.html So, the RCD stamped on this mystery object stands for the Royal Carriage Department of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich...

    Does anyone know what this object is? The “N” and other markings stamped on it has led me to believe it is naval in origin, but that’s a guess. It’s thick oak, with a brass plate on one side, and is approximately 11 1/2” square. I would be very grateful if someone would identify it, and solve a mystery for me...

    Interesting! Thank you, Roger. So, 1890’s, then?

    Something like this, but not as chunky because I doubt our wheel came from a vessel as large as the USS Constitution!

    Thank you for your replies! I was wondering, could this have been half of a double wheel? Looking at the back of the wheel, it appears that somebody sawed through the drum, and the iron spindle that runs through it. Maybe we have just half of this wheel... It’s also interesting to me that the wheel hub was made from a single piece of wood, like a section of tree trunk. The wood has shrunk and split into wedges over the years, but the same tree rings can be traced completely around the hub. I don’t know if this helps date it, but I thought it was worth noting.

    I’m hoping someone might be able to tell me something about this ship’s wheel. I’ve been told it came from a three-masted schooner that was wrecked near Penetanguishene in Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada, but I have no idea if this is correct. The wheel measures 54” in diameter and is made almost entirely of wood. It still bears traces of paint, shown in the photos. Any info at all - when it dates to, nationality, type of ship it came from, etc. - would be greatly appreciated!

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.
