    When I was at sea, we called 'guest warps' ropes or wires that were rigged on the ship's side for other craft to make fast to while loading of discharging cargo to or from our ship. John

    Thanks Ian. It turns out that there are a second pair at the after end of the forecastle. Still a puzzle, but I've fitted them and we'll see if anything else turns up. John

    Ian, were these vessels engaged in any particular trade? A possibility is 'guest warps', used to secure boats that are loading or discharging cargo from the schooner. Not the usual configuration for 'guest warps', but at the moment I can't think of anything else. 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.
