    Thanks for the challenge Jaager- After some additional internet research I now believe the base says Thomaston (vs. Thompson) Maine. History is a wormhole and it is amazing how much time goes by when searching.

    Thank you Steven- your words of advice are just the type of guidance needed. I will dive in and likely come back with more questions! Bob

    Thanks for the welcome. The position of the deck houses was simply a guess and have not been glued (or nailed) down. Thx again. Bob

    Good Evening- This ship model was on the fireplace mantle while I was growing up until it was sadly damaged and the rigging lost. I still have the solid wood hull and some of the attaching parts pictured. This model does not appear to have a high level of finish and most components appeared to have been nailed to the hull. The base has some writing (hard to read) penciled underneath: KAMIHS (?) Thompson Me 1874 Capt Meil (?) I have been planning a rebuild for years and now looking to Model Ship World for information on a sail plan that may be close enough to use as a guide. To my eye, the size and scale of 1:96 Flying Fish looks close but I will defer to more experienced modelers. I have tools, some patience and experience building model kits since I was a kid, so looking for your insights and experience before I muck the whole thing up. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Bob

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.
