Nice!

 

A (very) distant cousin of mine (our last common paternal ancestor born around 1678) was a shipwright at the Hard in the years around 1800, before moving to Parsons new yard in Warsash by 1810. No record tells of who worked on which ship but William K. may have had some hand in building the frigate Euryalus and the 74 Swiftsure, as they were built at the Hard during the years that his children were baptized there.

 

Sadly, I never got to visit the place before leaving England.

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.
