Hello, where did you get plans for the Edmund Fitzgerald? Thank you, GW

Sorry I didn't respond sooner........

 

The plans I got I found online on eBay, but DO NOT go this route, they were a bad scan are not actually to the scale I wanted........

 

If you want plans for the Edmund Fitzgerald, check out the Great Lakes Historical Collection at Bowling Green St University:

https://greatlakes.bgsu.edu/item/435132

 

email Mark Peter Sprang - his email is in the link

 

This a great source for a lot of older freighters that would have sailed the Great Lakes.

I wish I had the skills and patience to build this.  My father recently passed away and had this unbuilt Carr's model in his study.  How much is this kit worth?  It has everything in it.  My grandfather (his father) was an engineer on this ship in Manitowoc and he designed plumbing and pipes and such.

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.
