    The only ship known to have been built to the plans of "A Schooner For Port Jackson" is Mary Reibey's 'Mercury' - the ship on our $20 note! John

    Hello Lapstrake, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. I hope you're going to start a building log for your lobster boat. John

    Looking great, Hamilton. Don't forget a ringbolt somewhere in the bow or on the stem for the painter. I believe that internal top strake is usually called the clamp. John

    Pat, i had a look in the junk box and found a spent .243 cartridge case. The business end of it is (of course) .243" ID which is about 6mm, but this section of the case is only about 6mm long. If that's any good to you I'd be happy to send it when our lockdown allows me to get to a post office. John

    Given that she's in port and anchored with barges alongside, I'd say you're looking at a boom rigged for handling cargo. John

    Looks a good base for the second planking, mate! John

    Almost looks too pretty for a flatty skiff - more like a yacht tender. John

    That's a nice looking workhorse. John

    Glen, looking at the beast on the right of Derek's image, I doubt that it has a name like 'Sweet Eileen'! 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.
