    Hi Jack,  There were a couple recent posts on Model Ship World asking if you have any updates on the Cumberland kit.   It looks so good, many are hoping to get an update from you.

    Many thanks

      THANK YOU!!!  I hope it works out.  This is the first kit that I have ever seen in 50 years that would make me consider going from my own scratch build to a kit!   GOOD LUCK

    Allan, I'm just about to launch a family-and-friends campaign to get people to sign up for the Nelson/Trafalgar project, which you have so wonderfully supported. Do you by chance know how many signatures Adam has been able to collect to date? If so, I'll include that data. Many thanks!

      Hi Brian

      I had emails back and forth with Adam over the past two days to follow up on the new You Tube video he is working on for this project.  We are over 2000 names but need 10,000 so a long way to go.  We have 41,000 members at MSW but I have no idea what else can be done to get them to sign onto the project.  If we had just half, the project would get launched.   David Antscherl (Druxey), Mark Taylor, and I have bold wording on our signatures to get people to see this and sign on, but I am pretty sure the vast majority of the members totally ignore the signatures on all posts.    Feel free to add something to your signature as well and posts, every bit of help is greatly appreciated.     If you have any ideas and experience in this kind of thing please do let me know.

      Cheers

    Hi, Allan, I am looking at the drawings of the Euryalus, and I was wondering if there were any gratings in the lower and upper decks, I only see them shown in the forecastle deck, it's correct?   tanks 🙂

      Hi

      Yes, the hatches  would have had gratings on them on the upper and lower decks.   The attached drawing by Wayne Kempson has the lower deck  showing the hatches.  These would definitely have had gratings.  Same would apply to the upper deck.    I left  off the gratings on the ladder way hatches when I built my model of her.  Wayne followed conventional drawing techniques of the time in that the gratings were not shown on the original drawings.  If you look at the attached original drawing of the FC and QD, you will see that the gratings are not shown.    Please  email me directly at allanyed6469@gmail.com as I check it far more often than MSW,  or call me anytime on Skype to chat.   My Skype address is allan.yedlinsky    Ciao

    I have been researching the Effie M. Morrissey for a while and wondered if you ever finished your beautiful model of her. WoodenBoat magazine has a fantastic three part article on her and the ongoing restoration in issues 270, 271 & 272.  The latest edition covers the extensive and radical restoration. Also it seems she has been renamed again and is now the Schooner Ernestina-Morrissey.

    I found a good copy of that Library of Congress documentation from the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) that you used.  Available at https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.ma1719.sheet?st=gallery

    The companion photo set is also full of great details. https://www.loc.gov/item/ma1719/

    The WB article talks about a lines plan taken off in 1931 that shows her shape when she was only 37 years old. Apparently she had hogged quite a bit in the years since so they combined the two lines plans and rebuilt very nearly the whole boat.  

    Many good photos at  https://www.flickr.com/photos/schoonerernestina-morrissey/

      Hi. Thank you VERY MUCH for sending the information and thank VERY MUCH for your compliment.  I finished the hull but never finished rigging her when the buyer had to cancel the order.    Alas, I am semi retired as of a week ago so hope to finish her one day.   Right now I am in the middle of another project and collaborating with the NRG on it so may have to leave Effie alone unless another buyer comes along.  If that happens I will jump on her and should be able to finish her in less than 200 hours.  As you probably know her original name in 1894 was for the daughter of the owner Effie Maude Morrisey and renamed after the new owner's daughter, Ernestina in 1948 so the new name makes some sort of sense.    

      Best regards  Allan

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.
