    Kevin, according to Underhill, the multiple backstays are treated in exactly the same way as shrouds. John

    Hello Richard, and a warm welcome to the forum from down in Sydney. A beautiful and a tragic ship! That looks a very fine model you're building of her. A mate of mine was master of the Lytellton ocean rescue tug at the time of the Wahine disaster and they were on standby to sail up to Wellington to assist if required. I remember him telling me that his wife was begging him not to go because of the severity of the weather and he saying that he told her that they were a rescue tug and their reason for existence was to rescue ships and people. He also said that they were actually very relieved when they were told they weren't needed - he said, "I'm not sure we would have got as far as Wellington in those seas." John John

    Is there anything that says that the tackles have to be singles, Patrick? Could one of them be a gun tackle? jOHN

    Pat, could those blocks be rigged a la 'Stag's' running backstays? An arrangement I've not seen anywhere else, but confirmed by a contemporary painting? John

    Very interesting, Mark. John

    Patrick, could they have been set up like a Spanish burton, with the single 9" blocks acting as the running whip with a gun tackle attached to them? John

    Hello Steve, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That sounds like a particularly interesting manuscript. I think Keith's idea of it going to the NRG is a good one, if you think that would be a good home for it. John

    Looks like you're nearly there, Chris. 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.
