    Umm, Greg - looking at your last photo, it appears that you have right hand propellers on the port side and left hand propellers on the starboard side. Have you photos to show this ion the original ship, as multiple propellers are almost invariably fitted the other way around so that they're outward turning when the ship is going ahead; which provides for much better manoeuvrability - especially when going astern.

    As a comparison to the work boats depicted above, the photo below is of the preserved "snagger" 'Industry' on the Murray Rive in South Australia. The photo was taken at Renmark some ten years ago. 'Industry' was built in 1910 and, like virtually all traditional Murray River boats, is a side wheeler. John

    An interesting little hip - and an interesting building method. John

    Greg, You probably couldn't have chosen a more historically significant major steel warship than this!! Are there enough reliably dated photographs to properly nail down detail of the 'as built' configuration? John

    Thank you for taking the trouble to post this very interesting tutorial on shackle making! 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.
