In response to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, and to help ease your time while practicing social distancing, the Nautical Research Guild has decided to make the digital edition of the Nautical Research Journal, Vol. 65.1 – Spring 2020, free for all to read and enjoy. Please share this digital edition with all your friends, family, and fellow modelers you think might enjoy, or need, a fun distraction.

Our hobby is going through an adjustment with club meetings cancelled.  But on the plus side, many modelers are now able to spend more time than ever in the shop.  It is great for those of us that have this great hobby in common to be able to spend more time doing something we love rather than staring at the walls.  We are all in this together, so take this opportunity to work on a model or researching your next project while stuck at home.

If you wish to share this with your friends, family and fellow modelers, please share this link:  https://thenrg.org/covid19.

Stay safe, practice social distancing and do all you can to be here when this is all over. We hope you enjoy reading this issue of the Nautical Research Journal.

Thank you and the other Committee members for the thought Kurt.

 

Over here in England all the archives are shut for the duration. On the plus side, as you say, I can get on with the drawing side of my project, having more time than ever.

 

All the best,

 

Mark 

Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans.

2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.

 

Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB 

 

On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research.

 

Always on the go: Research into Royal Navy sailing warship design, construction and use, from Tudor times to 1790.

Hi Steef66,

 

Here is the link to take you to the page on the NRG site where you can view the free sample of the digital Journal:   https://thenrg.org/journal

 

The access button is about 1/4 of the way down the page (it's a gray box).  If you like what you see, the button to join the NRG is right next to it!  (HINT, HINT)
