    You have the photographic proof that that's the way she was rigged, so go for it. As for the lack of shrouds on the mizzen mast, in his book "Grain race", Eric Newby describes his horror at having to 'shinny' up the stays of the topgallant masts as they had no ratlines, so evidently not an unusual thing.

    Paul, what ship are you building? Are you sure these jackstays were rigged? If they were rigged, they would be shackled to eyes at the upper end and with bottle screws (rigging screws) shacked to eyes at the deck. John

    Allen, Paul is referring to Underhill's "Masting & Rigging - the clipper ship and ocean carrier". Paul - if you read Underhill's notes at the top of page 87, you'll see that he's referring to alate innovation on some of the large four masted barques from the end of the 19th century. John

    Called a 'fish tackle' (for fishing the anchor) and rigged as a threefold purchase from the head of the fore topmast. 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.
