    Jared, just got home after being away for 12 days and the shrouds are still taut, although I will need to tighten the mizzen shrouds a bit at some point. Passing the line through the dilute white glue solution and stretching them as they dry, seems to have worked well, as I had a dehumidifier running the whole time I was gone. Rick

    Jared, for what it’s worth, I’ve been dragging my line through a dilute solution of white glue and then hanging it with weights to stretch while drying, both running and standing rigging. Don’t have enough running rigging to tell yet, but hopefully the shrouds on the mizzen and main masts will stay relatively tight. Been gone for last 10 days, so I will check when I get home tomorrow. I anticipate having to adjust the lanyards, but hopefully not too much. One issue is the change in humidity, high humidity, lines swell and tighten up, dry humidity and line go slack, as I understand it. The solution of white glue is supposed to protect the lines from moisture. Running the lines through wax is supposed to do the same thing. Rick

    I disagree. Europe may have been designing ships on paper at that time. I don’t know much about European ship building techniques, however, I would like you to show me an American ship plan from the mid 1850’s from which that ship was built, Any plans on paper originated from the half models/lofting floor.

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.
