    She looks splendid underwater. John

    When I was at sea, we called 'guest warps' ropes or wires that were rigged on the ship's side for other craft to make fast to while loading of discharging cargo to or from our ship. John

    Thanks Ian. It turns out that there are a second pair at the after end of the forecastle. Still a puzzle, but I've fitted them and we'll see if anything else turns up. John

    Ian, were these vessels engaged in any particular trade? A possibility is 'guest warps', used to secure boats that are loading or discharging cargo from the schooner. Not the usual configuration for 'guest warps', but at the moment I can't think of anything else. John

    A very different looking paddle wheeler, Keith. She looks like she's had a hard life. John

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

    Thanks for that, Mark. John

    Those Fairmiles were beautiful looking boats Pat. Interesting to see her as a ferry, but the motel unit is a bit of an insult, I think. That looks a good job on the diagonal planking. John

    A landmark day (of sorts) on Monday, with half the square sails now rigged (apart from their braces, of course). I should get the main lower topgallant crossed either Friday or Monday, so she's looking more and more like a sailing ship and less like an abandoned wreck! John

    Thanks for the update, Keith. Don't know why you're whinging about not being back in the workshop until Autumn - it's already Autumn - cold and rainy!! 😀 John

    Now THAT looks like weathered teak! 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.
