There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of these available on eBay. All from China; all stupidly cheap. Probably pirated and undoubtedly of very poor quality. My advice would be to stay well away and spend your money on a kit from a reputable retailer. John

Split topsails and topgallant sails appeared in the mid 1850's. As has been said, this arrangement made the upper sails easier to handle and obviated the need to reef the upper sails. The upper sail of each 'pair' was taken in by the simple expedient of lowering the yard down onto the lower yard. As regards the accuracy of the model that you're restoring, unless the owner has specifically asked for errors to be corrected, then I think the best course of action is to restore it 'warts and all'. John PS Where do you volunteer? John

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.
