Just saw your notes on the ESSEX> I worked with the curator of the Peabody Museum, Chad Smith, and Bill Baker when the Book "The ESSEX Papers" was being written. Had access to a lot of inf, and did a lot of research myself. I built a scratch model of the ship, donated it to the Museum, in 1976. It was on display for some years. There are many errors in the kit, and I don't think Portia's info is accurate. Suggest you try to get a copy of the book and plans. I am making a book with photos of my model. Don't know where you ARE IN THE CONSTRUCTION, BUT WOULD BE GLAD TO PROVIDE INFO
