I have a pretty good high quality image of it myself. His color combinations are slightly different from the image of her at San Francisco. He didn't paint her red mast banding...nor did he paint in her mast recesses white. He didn't paint her rail stanchions white. Other then that she looks like I plan on modeling her. Here is my copy of this painting if you wish it for resolution detail....to aid in your own model. Rob Rob, I wonder if Samuel Walters did this same topic in more than one painting? These 2 works look remarkably similar. Either it's the same one with different exposure resolutions or he did this same work more than once. Most likely it's the same one taken in different lighting. One of my favorite art galleries has closed. I just learned in conversation with Russell Jinishian, previous curator, that the Mystic Maritime Art Gallery closed last year. As serendipity turns out, he recently moved his own Maritime Art Gallery to Stonington, CT and has invited us to tour it tomorrow. Apparently it's in an old dress manufacturing factory and according to what I've read, fills every space. Here's a link to his website which features some of the most beautiful contemporary nautical artists: jrusselljinishiangallery.com I hope he'll give me permission to take some gallery shots to share a general feeling for his place.

Vladimir, My apologies, the 1st artist's last name is Walters not Warren. He's a very famous contemporary British Ship Portrait artist. His broadside for view of 'Glory of the Seas' is probably the finest depiction of her for accuracy. I think I hot his last name confused with the 3rd artist's 1st name which just happens to be Warren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClipperFan Posted June 3, 2021 Share #1083 Posted June 3, 2021 Rob, Vladimir Gina Bardi came through big time for me! Here's the series of images she took of "Glory of the Seas" nameboard. I've enhanced the one image of the entire board so it can be seen close up. Details I noticed are that it appears like both ends of the board with the lovely oaken leave scrollwork were damaged. The fore end lower innermost section looks like it was detached but somehow saved to be reattached at a somewhat awkward angle. Upper fore section appears to be unmarked. Sadly the aft section didn't fare as well. The bottom seems to be missing some parts and there is a large double crease in the center. Still, all in all for having survived possibly from 1869 until 1922, potentially 53 years this artifact is a wonderful tribute to the durability of the cedar it was crafted from. My impression is that this port Bow nameboard is the original device but Michael Mjelde said it couldn't be verified if it had ever been replaced. With the close ups thought, you can clearly see that it was all hand chiseled. He described this as remarkably difficult work due to the somewhat rubbery aspect of the nautical cedar.

Magnificent Rich..... Just wonderful. It is amazing to see that the ends are not symmetrical and are quite different in shape and contour. This nameboard survived for 174 years with possibly, 53 years of hard weathered work. Its preservation is a legacy of Glory of the Seas. Doing a bit more research it looks like this might be the starboard nameboard. The image we have (Thanks Mike), of Glory at pier side prior to her burning...shows the removed figurehead and the starboard nameboard. We know the figurehead was removed just prior to her burning and it is assumed the nameboard was also salvaged at this time.. Secondly.....if this is the port nameboard as you suggest,....the one depicted in the image has gold leaf or paint on each oak leaf cluster....but is not represented in this example.......???? And if this is indeed the starboard nameboard...why is it not gold leafed or painted on the oak leaf clustered ends to match the one in the image...???? Personally...I'm apt to think this nameboard may be one of the aft nameboards used when she was in port...since the story goes it was found in an attic. Possibly a good reason why it is in such a remarkable condition. My ramblings......

There are distances to be set when laser cut so i trust him it worked for mine always im quite confident in this respect. He was soing extra work as well as i insisted he maintains 1:96 ratio he had to recalculate for thickness of wood. he even asks now if everything is ok. ...cant wait only thing i maybe regret now is i changed waterway beam thickness measure to make it bit smaller than original. but im thinking of workaround already together with flying fish plan. its good help to do it that way. im glad you and Rob and Michaels guy sorted out bulwark size... by the way im reading thru crothes American built clipper ship.

ClipperFan Posted June 3, 2021 Share #1089 Posted June 3, 2021 As promised earlier today, here are the many pictures I took of Lloyd McCaffery's incredibly tiny wooden carving of Glory's magnificent figurehead. Mike told me in one of his emails that Lloyd went to the India House, NYC to take multiple angled pictures of the actual Grecian Goddess 'Athene' figurehead, where he had been given extraordinary access to her by India House management, in reparation for this work. Knowing his penchant for thorough research for any artifact he creates, we can all be very confident that this is a delicate recreation of her in miniature.

ClipperFan Posted June 3, 2021 Share #1096 Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Continuing in the vein of Lloyd McCaffery's brilliant miniatures, known and recognized world wide as some of the finest on the planet, here are more priceless treasures in the most unique Maritime Art Gallery in the Borough of Stonington, CT. (1) "Ancient Victory" (2) Clipper "Morning Light" figurehead (carved by Gleason who also did "Glory of the Seas") (3) Dual horses head figurehead of British Ship of the Line "Royal George" named for the King. (4, 5 & 6) "Glory of the Seas" before Russ offered to move her to an easier spot to take pictures of her. You can see the difference in quality. (7) "Morning Light" different angle (8, 9 & 10) "Bald Eagle" this is simply a stunning piece of work. The eagle looks so lifelike and delicate, these pictures hardly do it justice. Before I discovered Glory this show piece stopped me in its tracks. Magnificent. (11) British Brig HMS "Sultana" which has apparently been recreated full scale in the South. (12) Yacht "America" Winner of the 100 Guinea Cup, forever after named the "America's Cup" leading to the most incredible winning streak in sports history as the USA repeatedly won this prize for well over a Century! (13) two Royal Barges Edited June 5, 2021 by ClipperFan name of King George corrected to Royal George Jorge Diaz O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, again the overhead view of Glory's hull really shows in this photo. As a courtesy, I just wanted to remind you that 3'6" below the planksheer, there's a more subtle Hull line that blends in to the lowest molding of Glory's naval hoods at the Bow and ends up being a significant factor in forming her graceful tumble home at the stern.

Fairing the bulkheads made it look sleeker too.

How did you discover the outsized bulkheads which interrupted the flow of the Hull? Inquiring minds would like to know. When fairing the bulkheads using planking, it was evident several bulkheads had been over extended. I laid the planking on the bulkheads to establish continuity of form and I discovered the error. I simply sanded them into proper contour. And then rechecked.

As a courtesy, I just wanted to remind you that 3'6" below the planksheer, there's a more subtle Hull line that blends in to the lowest molding of Glory's naval hoods at the Bow and ends up being a significant factor in forming her graceful tumble home at the stern. Right.
