The latest offering from Dr Sam Willis and the SNR is a look at Ship Models, part 1 looks at the Royal George of 1756.  There is a 6 minute video in addition to the podcast.  
 

Worthwhile dropping bye in my opinion at https://snr.org.uk/the-mariners-mirror-podcast/ultimate-ship-models-1-hms-royal-george/

 

For those who enjoyed the Wellington Trust presentation on ship models by Simon Stephens this is an ideal complimentary podcast, with Simon also contributing.

It is sooooo good to be able to see this kind of thing with today's technology.

 

Wasn't the upper most/center spoke handle woven with fancy rope work to indicate when the rudder was straight?  Perhaps this was a later practice, but surely something was done to aid the helmsmen, especially in the dark.

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.
