Blu330ciracer Posted July 6, 2023 #1 Posted July 6, 2023 Hello Members, I am new to this forum and excited to learn more about model ships. I am starting out with one that has me interested in collecting or at least being knowledgable about model ships that are rare and valuable. My first ship that I have is the Thermopylae which I have tried doing research on but I cannot find much information about this model ship and apparently its a hard ship to find when I browse the internet. I hope to learn a lot more about it and also love looking at other model ships that I've discovered within this community. Keith Black, ccoyle and mtaylor 3

allanyed Posted July 6, 2023 #7 Posted July 6, 2023 Blu WELCOME aboard! Are you researching the ship or the model? If the ship itself I assume you have found the The Rudder article from 1919 https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Rudder/Z7M6AAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=clipper+thermopylae&pg=PA583&printsec=frontcover and have contacted the folks at the Aberdeen Museum. https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/AAGM/about-us/contact-us Research can be very rewarding as well as very frustrating. Some years back, two of us spent several hundred hours researching one particular ship before cutting one piece of wood, so do not get frustrated.
