    Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship

    in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900

    Posted

    Hi there,

    I am new here and just stumbled across this forum while Googling the Meteor. What a beautiful model! It must certainly be a labour of love.

    I thought I would comment as I believe this may be the same ship that my great-great-grandfather took from Germany (Bremen) to New York in 1856. The only other Meteor I have been able to find is a much later build in 1896. He later made his way from New York to Ontario Canada, shortly after his wife arrived in New York. She came on the Hammonia.

    I hope you don't mind if I follow your updates on this model.

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.
