    Honestly, the comparative dimensions with the Adams and John Adams listed in post 15 of the the "first look at the John Adams" thread" (from the Fox papers that Frolick suggested as a source) are indeed about as good a starting point as I can find for an accurate reconstruction . But if the vault is open and/or you know of anything else... Overdale made this model on the forum a few years back, I'd be curious as to your opinion of his Essex-based guesses for the deck vs your own research? https://modelshipworld.com/topic/12369-frigate-boston-by-overdale-finished I'm an admitted newbie, so that's where I stand for the moment.

    Hello Hank, I am working on the Boston a bit this summer too, and wonder if your drawings include any attempt to reconstruct a deck plan?

    I am working on reconstructing the deck plans of the Boston and John Adams, and frolick, your posts suggest you may have some resources towards that goal? I wonder if you could share an image of the deck plans of John Adams you mention from the PEM, and any more thoughts you have about reconstructing the deck(s) of the Boston per post 15 above? Did Talos ever finish his reconstruction of JA? -Mark

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.
