    Because people dismiss the Viking Ship attribution of Grace Dieu, which persisted up to 1920s, they seem to discard what happened to it before then. About half the wreck was removed at various times. I have given an account of this in a book self-published on Amazon KDP last year - "Fake Heritage - solving mysteries" (Tom Welsh) in Chapter 16. Archaeologists blame Crawshay who was actually very careful. According to recent archaeology writers they scoff at him for thinking he was an archaeologist, like 'modern archaeologists' were around then. Wood was taken at various times for commemorative purposes, including an inkstand for Edward VII. Various attempts were made to lift it, one plan in 1901 to display it by the Alfred monument. By just dealing with the history from the recognition as Grace Dieu loses so much

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.
