Thunder Posted December 20, 2018 #7 Posted December 20, 2018 I also remember having a book about the Mary Celeste which had a plan in it but unfortunately leant it to someone and it never got returned. I can't remember the author, unfortunately. There was also a tv program which showed the design. mtaylor 1 Current Build(s): H.M.S Diana 1794 - Caldercraft 1:64 Scale Completed Builds: H.M.S.

Papa Posted January 27, 2019 #8 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) I did a bit of searching for the Mary Celestse a few years ago after I discovered that a distant cousin had owned her (after the found-empty-at-sea event). I couldn't even find a set of plans.☹️. Good luck There is a plan in the book "Ghost Ship" by Brian Hicks, but it is too small to be of much use. Edited January 27, 2019 by ragove mtaylor 1
Bill Voss Posted February 10, 2019 #9 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Although a scale model would sell well, to my knowledge, there isn’t a scale model of the Mary Celeste. The reason is the original plans of the ship have long been lost which makes a detailed model impossible. I believe the model “Marie Celeste” is only a guess of what she looks like based on pictures and general specifications. Edited February 10, 2019 by Bill Voss mtaylor 1
