    I've just discovered another 100 or so prints. If I don't hear from anyone here, I'll certainly donate them to a maritime museum. When I was a kid just out of high school, I went to work for Harry Dring as a laborer and night watchman at the California State Maritime Historical Monument when The Thayer, the Wapama, and the Eureka were still in Alemeda. In lived in the fisherman's fo'c'sl of the Thayer. I'm also the City Historian of Mt. Shasta, CA. These won't go to waste.

    Greetings gents and ladies. I'm new to the site and don't qualify to offer anything for sale, but I have over 100 color glossy photographs of MANY different variations of the Italian inspired double ended hull design of the "Monterey Clipper". I had always intended to build the one stunning model of this type, but time and cancer caught up with me first. I took these pictures of every hull I could find for about 20 years. I paid special attention to how the boats were rigged, and shot a lot of detail regarding steering stations, winches and smoke pipe and exhaust configuration. I also have a 1947 set of lines and stations which could help to get the hull right even though it is hard to read the numbers. I don't want to trash these with all the other stuff I'm throwing out. And, I know they have some value, so at the risk of getting kicked off of here with my first post. Does anyone have an offer?

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.
