HMS Hussar, is there gold still aboard...


Recommended Posts

...the now rotten or buried hulk In or around Hell's Gate, East river, NYC?

 

Reputed to be the British pay ship for H.M troops engaged in suppressing the American revolution. The British captain didn't listen to the East River pilot. The ship hit Pot rock and sank with

a number of American P.O.W. aboard as well as gold and silver.

I've been making progress on my model and according to the instruction booklet I should be painting it, at least parts of it.

Are acrylic's ok ? I did apply a sanding sealer. but I want to stain the untreated floor boards which are walnut.

 

Thanks
