    What sort of ship arr wtalking about, Bob. in most ships, the bow and stern are just the areas where we see the most alteration in plank width on the hull. John

    Yes, remember the quadrantal correctors are soft iron, so they'll need painting, Grant. Red and green was a traditional colour scheme for them right up into the late 20th century! John

    We have a rather nice 1:1 scale model of her here at the museum, mate! John

    Always nice when things line up properly, Greg. You're making good progress. John

    You've done her proud, Andy! John

    It's simply a skylight for the cabin, Grant. John

    For those outside the United States, Harriet Lane was also the slang name for tinned preserved meat; named after an unfortunate young woman who was murdered by her lover in London in 1874 and whose body was later dismembered in attempt to dispose of it! John

    Great to hear that you feel well enough to get back into the workshop, Håkan. That deck framing really looks very nice, indeed. John

    Looks like you've made a very nice job of that repair, Lyle. John

    Grant, it's difficult to be sure, but it looks like a simple round or square bar section. remember it's only taking compression forces as it 'spreads' the shrouds. John

    Hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

    Grant, this is a much-zoomed detail of the mizzen mast. The spreader appears to be on a collar around the mast and to be centred on the mast. If you save the image and then open it, right click and hit 'zoom to fit', you should get a reasonably clear full screen size image to study. John

    This photograph of 'Harriet McGregor' alongside at Hobart clearly shows a spreader with a single topmast shroud. John

    You'll be in even more pain if your wife finds out you're interested in the cute nurses!!! Sorry about the pain, but good to hear your surgery went well. John

    Can hardly wait for the next stage, Greg. 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.
