    There is a small maritime museum near the Delaware Bay in Delaware that has a ballast bar, possibly of pig iron, that is marked, imprinted with the word “FIGUEROA”. It is the Spanish word for figs. The pig iron bar is said to be from a Spanish ship and was found by the crew of the Nellie Mary in 1855 - I have since to see another ballast stone or bar that was imprinted or marked with a name. Has anyone seen one that is marked, imprinted with a name or word or the name of the ship that it was on?

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.
