I am presently contemplating my next step for my model of Newsboy 1854 so I was perusing my American-Built Packets and Freighters of the 1850s by William L Crothers again to figure out what I need to do. This is an amazing book and a font of information about mid nineteenth century American merchant sail. Everything you could possibly need to know is there. It is also very readable. Mr. Crothers put a lot of effort in to this work. I also have have a copy of his The American Built Clipper Ship which is very much the same, but then it would have to be, they’re really the same animal (sorta, kinda).

Hi Kurt. I was looking for Crothers drawn plans called Sea Gull Plans and finally ended up here .I was thinking of buying the "masts" book too  but if it's too much like the clipper ship book then I already have the info. Wondered what you found in the 'Mast' book that was different from the Clipper book. Also do you have any idea if William is still alive? I can't find any info on that either. Currently building the Great Republic in 1:48.

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.
