    Thank you for the input and responses. I’m making progress. I’ve mounted a bell on the bow near the windlass. I’m not real knowledgeable about the ship lingo and names of the many parts of a ship. Also I’m not real savvy with computer type things, like putting up photos to show my ship. It asks me for a url? For the pics but they are on my phone with no urls? I don’t know. Would love to show what it looked like when I bought it in August 2019 and what it looks like now. I’m not super concerned with authenticity or scale. Close is good enough for me. I just want it to be interesting to look at and appealing to the eye, I believe it is both. I’m using a mix of the few pics of Glory ( kits and real ship photos) and what appeals to me. I don’t believe it was completely accurate to start and it was hand made. So I’m running with that for my approach . It is a waterline mount a little over three feet long. thanks Chris C

    I’m restoring a large handmade replica of The Glory of The Seas clipper ship. I found it in an antique story in really really rough shape. The tag with it said it was crafted circa 1940. This ship launched from East Boston in 1869, same year as The Cutty Sark and built by Donald Mc Kay who built The Flying Cloud. I’ve built plenty of boat models over the years, nothing with this much detail and rigging. I’m making progress and have some resources for info on clipper ship rigging. One thing I have not found is where the ships bell would have been mounted. Can anyone answer this question ? TY chris

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.
