I usually leave the commentary on the Journal articles to others, but I have gone beyond my inspection of the proof copy of this issue.  I have been reading a couple of the articles off my computer screen because I couldn't wait for the printed copy.  This is unusual activity for me - I hate reading off the screen  (but not so much since I got the big 27" screen). 

 

I think the cover photo is fabulous as are the photos that accompany the article.  I think a lot of members will be very interested in the author's thoughts on the subject of updating dockyard-style modeling.

 

We should go to press Monday.

I saw the proof as well and I am impressed with this issue. The front cover is awesome.

Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

I had to contact them - my renewal got messed up and I got canceled instead. Fixed with a quick email exchange.

I received my copy over a week ago.  Some great articles this time.

My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

I am checking again with our mail service as it seems that several members in Australia have not received their issues yet.  When I spoke to them on Tuesday they said that the Australia issues are supposed to be delivered within 30 days of leaving NY.  They were shipped on 3-16 from NY so they should be delivered by now.  We are also tracking some missing issues for N. Ireland and several in the UK.

 

I would ask that any overseas members to send an email to info@thenauticalresearchguild.org to let us know the date when you receive/received this issue of the Journal.  Due to a mix up in Cuba, NY all but 3 or 4 non US members were mailed 2 issues of this Journal.  Please let us know if you get one or two copies also.  If you do not get a reply to your email to info@thenauticalresearchguild.org let Mary or me know with a PM here on MSW.  Several members seem to have a problem with receiving emails from the info@.... email, but get emails sent from Mary's personal email - please check your SPAM filter before sending a PM.

 

We are working to find out what has happened and we will make sure everybody gets their Journal.

Now I'm both incensed and excited.  I have been posting elsewhere herein about Ka'iimiloa, Kalakaua's naval vessel. Now I see the Journal is writing on the Hawai'ian Navy as well.  Dare I say it, "great minds ..."  I'll wait until my issue arrives.
