Jim Lad Posted June 7, 2014 #2 Posted June 7, 2014 I've got that one, Antony. I found it very helpful when researching my 'Stag' - as well as being a really interesting read. John Quote
Stockholm tar Posted June 13, 2014 #3 Posted June 13, 2014 Anthony, Thanks for the link. I know of the book, although not read it. Quite an old book now, but still I think sound. Perhaps required reading for us cutter (and other) builders, for filling in the background?

Previous build: Bluenose ll (Billings) scale – 1/100th.

druxey Posted June 13, 2014 #5 Posted June 13, 2014 It's an interesting read, full of anecdotes from the period. Recommended! Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
