I received an email today from the New Bedford whaling museum. They have put together a data base of American whaling voyages. It is an amazing collection of data. Voyages, logs, crew members, etc. Searchable in many different ways. The data base seems to be huge. I just stared poking around and the info is great to anyone interested in whaling history.

Here's a link to the PDF about the data base

..And here's the site.

The data takes some time to load. Give it a minute. I have just started to scratch the surface of what is avialable here. It's a little tough to navigate, but worth the effort.

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.
