Well it has been some time since I visited this site and had to rejoin. My old name was Les Rogers but now I am Ginger!

I need help and it would have to come from Aussie members,

I am looking for info on a cutter I think was built on the Manning River nsw and was skippered at one time by Capt. James Thrower who was drowned whilst mapping the Bar at Urunga in 1846.

It was aprox 33tons and worked between Sydney and Bellingen which at that time was a ship building port.

The Urunga Museum has the headstone from the Capt`s grave on display at its entrance.

If I can find out enough on this vessel I will build it for the Museum.

Any lead will help. 

Regards Les

G'day Las, nice to see you back on the forum! :)

 

If she was built on the manning, have you tried contacting the Taree Historical Society?  They may have something.

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.
