    Hello gents! I have enjoyed this thread But just a few historical comments about the Alliance. First, she did not in fact mount those larger guns ordered by Jones. Those were carried as cargo by Capt. Barry on a subsequent return trip in company with the ship Marquis de .Lafayette. Alliance continued to carry 12 and 9-pounders through the entire war. Alliance was builtby Wm. Hackett and his cousin John Hackett in then Salisbury MA. Wm may have consulted ondesign of Hancock built downriver at Newburyportm but the Hacketts didnot build her. The Raleigh was built in Portsmouth New Hampshire by John's brother (Wm's cousin) James Hackett. The Essex was designed by William Hackett.

    Just a historical correction; Alliance and Raleigh were built in different yards. Raleigh was built in John Langods shipyard and designed by James Hackett who later designed and built Ranger. Alliance was built at Salisbury Point MA by William Hackett, James first cousin.

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.
