    Thank you for traverse board. My dictionary only gives dog-hook which couldn't be right in this context. Interesting to read mtaylor's and Dr PR's first-hand experience of the second board.

    Would any forum members know the English names of these objects? The one with the compass rose is called a "renard de navigation" in French and was used to keep track of a ship's route. Whoever was on watch would place a peg in a hole in the section for the corresponding direction. The pegs on strings were used to record speed. The brass (?) board is a "renard de présence" and records which officers are on board. "Renard" means fox. Apparently the "renard de navigation" resembles an old board game called "The fox and the chickens". Thank you.

    Thanks to everyone for the hellos and the links. Have to say I'm amazed by the work you guys (and gals?) do!

    Very sorry to arrive "after the battle" and pleased you were able to solve the mystery. I will set my profile to receive PMs. I'll be happy to help with French terms whenever I can.

    Hello to all on the forum. I'm a new user, living in Paris, France though originally from England. I'm a translator and am hoping it will be OK for me to ask some questions regarding model-making terminology. Best regards, Sandra

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.
