I’m sure it is on display now. Really want to see it. Rick @Rick310 I'll have to see when we can get down there. It's about 1 & 1/2 hour drive but my family has a crazy work schedule. If I can take pics with my cell phone, I'll let you know. Quote

What a thrill.

Rob Rob, Should you do, give me enough advanced notice. I'll make arrangements for a return visit to see and probably touch the figurehead Athene at Hyland-Granby Antiques, Hyannis Port, Cape Cod, MA and Russ Jinishian's magnificent maritime art gallery just down the road from Mystic in Stonington, CT. There's also the stunning Captain Nate Palmer House with another nice collection of nice scale clipper ship models too. Then again, no trip to New England can be complete without considering a visit to the venerable Frigate USS Constitution "Old Ironsides." Just keep me posted. Quote

EdT Posted August 18 Author #3606 Posted August 18 Thanks guys, for your nice comments. First, the question of ventilators. I would say no, I saw now trace or reference to them on the ship or even on others of her class and period. Crew quarters were on deck and I am sure that at the prices for goods claimed in California at the time, the entire hold was likely stacked up to the hatch covers. Their is a hatch that could be opened over the passenger accomodation aft. I do not know if the model is on display at Mystic. I was always hopeful, but there were no guarantees. I am not in regular contact with them. My main motive in donating the model was to see it in a good home where it would be taken care of. The Mystic model store is first rate. Naiad and Victory should be so lucky. Cheers, Ed mtaylor 1 Quote All EdT posted material Copyright 2016 Edward J Tosti Young America - extreme clipper 1853 Young America POB Version Modeling the Extreme Clipper Young America Vol 1 1:60 HMS Naiad 1797 The Naiad Frigate Vol I The Naiad Frigate Vol II1:96 Victory
