    Thanks, Michael. I have no idea how much research the artist did before he created the painting. Will do some more digging. Bob

    Looking for a representative model of the Gale, a passenger ship that sailed from Rotterdam to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1752. J. Franklin Wright's rendering shows her in Halifax Hbr. (attached) but I'm unsure as to how accurate it is. She brought Foreign Protestants from Europe to Nova Scotia. According to TheShipsList, "the Gale was a three-masted ship with a square stern and a gilded figurehead of a gale. The ship was about 120 feet long and 30 feet wide. It had a crew of 30 and could carry up to 300 passengers. The ship was painted white with red and blue stripes along the hull. She had 18 guns for defense." It would be great if there's a model available of the Gale or a reasonable facsimile. Thank you ! Bob Collins

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.
