MARINE MODEL CO., 29 WEST 15TH STREET, NEW YORK PRICE, SERIES 7 FIFTEEN CENTS 1941 GORDON GRANT With the model he made of the Whaleboat. Mr. Grant was born and lived for many years on the West Coast. Always a lover of ships and the sea, he made, among many other trips, one voyage on the clipper ship “Star of Alaska”. From notes during this trip he wrote and illustrated “Sail Ho”, which is really a sketch book of actual life aboard a clipper ship. Subsequently he produced a companion book, “Greasy Luck”, showing life aboard a whaler. His painting of the U. S. F. Constitution in 1927, of which heat were made and sold to the public, largely financed the reconditioning of that famous ship at the Boston Navy Yard, He summers on the coast of New England returning to New York each fall with a beautiful collection of water colors, oil paintings and sketches of the fishing fleet under all kinds of weather conditions and many other marine subjects of which he is a consummate master. An’ | don’t care if its North or South, The trades or the China Sea, Shortened down or everything set Close hauled or running free— You paint me a ship as is like a ship An’ that’ll do tor me. —C.

PRECISION SHAPED AND HOLLOWED HULL Painting and rigging are the most interesting phases of model building. With this thought in mind, our PRECISION SHAPED AND HOLLOWED HULLS of KILN DRIED WHITEWOOD, make another outstanding feature. Nothing like these have ever been offered before. WHITEWOOD is very close grained and takes a beautiful finish, it is not to be confused with the cheaper, softer woods. A short and easy sanding is all that is required to be ready for the first coat of paint. These FULLY SHAPED HULLS make it possible for anyone without an elaborate woadworking shop to complete any model. Only a few simple tools are required. BANDSAWED PROFILE HULL For those who have the equipment and enjoy doing the work, the BANDSAWED PROFILE HULL, accurately cut to profile, sheer and full breadth is the surest means of turning out a finely finished product. Only the best kiln dried wood is used and there will never be the fear of the hull checking from extreme dryness and moisture. PLANS AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS All plans are clearly and accurately reproduced in full size. If you prefer to work from raw material, every detail is shown, nothing is left to your imagination. The assembly instructions are most complete and lead you through each stage of construction in its proper order, 3 THE 8 LB. FIELD ARTILLERY PIECE During the American Revolution the 8 lb. Field Artillery pieces played as important a part in that war as the French 75’s did in the Great War. They were instrumental in Washington’s many victories. The Father of our country believed in a mobile, fast moving army that could strike fast, strike hard and get away before superior forces could wear down his lighter ones. They were the most effective type for this kind of warfare as they were light enough to be hauled rapidly, yet a deadly weapon at close range. Careful research through the archives at Fort Ticonderoga and many other museums has enabled us to present to you an authentic model. Historically interesting, the finished product makes a beautiful and decorative piece to add to your collection. Built on a scale of 34″ to the foot, the finished model is 4″ high and 10″ long.

As a consequence, the armament of most of our ships during the Revolution and the War of 1812, consisted of pieces captured from the British and what we could purchase from the French. This often meant that one ship would have several different types and sizes of cannon. It is all the more remarkable that our young navy could have been as successful as it was with such an ill assorted and motley collection. While the U. S. Frigate “Constitution” was being built, great care was taken in assembling her armament. She was the first ship that could boast of a main battery of 44 pieces of 24 pounders. In every detail, this model is an exact replica on a scale of 34″ to the foot. When completed it is 9″ long and 3!/.” high.

Nordhoff and Hall in the companion books, ”Mutiny of the Bounty” and ”Men Against the Sea”, tell an epic tale of courage, heroism and hardihood. Lt. Bligh and 18 men were cast, by a mutinous crew, into a 26 foot open launch in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Huddled closely in their tiny boat, alternately defying gales, rain squalls and a pitiless sun for 26 days, they sailed 3600 miles of open water to a safe port in the Malay Archipelago. A feat that has never been equaled. It is the story of a small boat that made a ship famous. Here is a companion model to the thousands of “Bounty’s” that have been built. Colorful and decorative, completely carved and hollowed to show real ship construction, it is a fascinating project and a collector’s piece.

NEW BEDFORD WHALEBOAT Much has been written of the famous whalers, the Wanderer, Progress, Lagoda, Morgan and many others, but little has been said of the whaleboats themselves. Charles W. Averaging 28′ in length, their construction of thin cedar planking was so light that it was necessary for them to rest on cranes when loaded with the necessary gear, to prevent sagging and breaking their backs. And it was in these tiny cockleshells that the whalemen fought the monsters of the deep. Mammals, three to four times their length, weighing from 50 to 100 tons, whose one ”CHAW” reduced a boat to splinters and killed the entire crew. Truly the days of “Iron men and Wooden Ships”. So beautifully designed, they have always been considered the most seaworthy boats ever built. This model, an exact replica with all its gear; lances, irons, spades, waif, tubs, etc. is most effectively mounted as on a ship’s side; supported by cranes and davits.

The term applied to those ships built during the latter years of the I8th and early |9th centuries. It was synonymous with ships having a high narrow stern and bluff apple bow. Designed for fishing on the Grand Banks; built primarily in Maine and Nova Scotia, they were the forerunners of the famous Bluenose and Gertrude Thebaud of today. The peculiarity of design enabled them to ride out the seas on the fishing grounds. Floating like a duck, there was never a storm they could not weather. Exceptionally fast and handled by small crews, they had a long and useful career. During the War of 1812, when fishing was unsafe, many were fitted out as privateers and successfully ravaged British shipping Down East and through the Maritimes. Built to a scale of !/,” to the foot, the finished model occupies a space 17″ long and 12″ high.

Their principal cargoes were cannon from the foundries, shipped to the Brooklyn Navy Yard; paving cobble stones and bricks. The latter were made along both shores of the river from Yonkers to Poughkeepsie. Lespive their appearance, the sloops were exceptionally fast. It was not uncommon, with favoring winds and tides, to make the entire run of 150 miles from Albany to New York in one day. Their speed and seaworthiness prompted the owners to employ them as privateers during the War of 1812. The | 7 | armament was light, generally a long gun used at a distance to cut up the other vessel. Speed, ability to work to windward and ease of handling were the advantages that made these ventures profitable. Official records show many valuable prizes brought in by them. The Victorine is the most famous of all. Her record of fast passages has never been surpassed by any other sloop.

Duties on imports had to be collected to support the government. In 1790, Alexander Hamilton, as Secretary of the Treasury, succeeded in having Congress authorize a Revenue Marine. Ten vessels were approved ranging from 31 ton schooners to a 249 ton barque rigged ship. The Revenue Marine was subsequently changed to the U. S. Coast Guard. No arm of our law enforcement service has performed its work with as little fanfare and publicity as this division. Besides enforcing the revenue laws it is engaged in life saving and salvage work, carrying government papers and officials, charting the courses of ice bergs in the steamer lanes and multitudinous other tasks. The Joe Lane was one of the first vessels designed expressly for this service. and Fenbie in Portsmouth, Va. She was built in 1848/9 by Graves She served many years on the Atlantic coast actively engaged in fighting the Slave ships and pirates in southern waters.

She has been famous for her races against the Nova Scotiaman “BLUENOSE”, with whom she has divided the honors these many years for the fishing championship of the United States and Canada.

SEA GOING TUG BOAT In commercial ports throughout the world, we are always conscious of the variety of tasks imposed on harbor tugs. With ceaseless chuffing, on call 24 hours a day, the power in these small ships is incredible. They tow strings of barges; shift lighters and dredges; warp giant liners in and out of their piers. No less important is the seagoing tug. Slightly larger than the harbor type, the main difference is in the accommodations and equipment for long passages. Their work is largely the salvaging of disabled vessels and long coastwise tows. Many have even crossed the Atlantic. In the spring of 1937, the Belgian tug “JOHN”, towed T. O. M. Sopwith’s America’s cup challenger “ENDEAVOUR II” from Plymouth, England to Boston, Mass. The model presented here is of the fleet of one of America’s great oil companies.

S. “SUBMARINE CHASER” In 1916 the American government became acutely conscious of the vulnerability of its long unpro- tected coast line by the arrival of the German submarine ‘Deutchland” in Baltimore. The immense cost and length of time required to build a fleet of destroyers was prohibitive. What was really needed was an immense fleet of small, fast boats equipped with depth bombs. After much deliberation plans of the 110 foot sub chasers were decided upon. They could be builtin hundreds of small ship yards throughout the country, average 15 miles an hour and had a cruising radius of about 1200 miles. They were equipped with one 3″‘ Poole gun on the forward deck, two machine guns mounted on each side of the wheel house and a “Y” gun on the after deck for discharging the “Ash Cans” or depth bombs. Officers and men totaled 23 men. With the entry of the United States into the World War these ships were rapidly commissioned and their personnel trained at the main base in New London, Conn. Eventually they went overseas, some operating from Plymouth, England and others at Corfu, Greece, Gibraltar, Brest and the Azores. They operated iin_units of three and upon locating a submarine, converged upon it at full speed dropping their “Ash Cans.” The S.C. 86 cruised from New London, Conn., to Bermuda, the Azores, Portugal, Brest and operated from Plymouth for many months engaging in many attacks on the U Boats.

S. COAST GUARD CUTTER “ATALANTA” This branch of our naval service operates several sizes and classes of boats in the various duties it performs. From the small surf boats used for life saving at the coastal stations, to the big 350′ off shore patrol ships. In between are classes at 65′, 110′, and 165’. The Atalanta is the 165’ class and is used primarily in such waters as Long Island and Block Island sounds and coastal patrol service. She, with the other vessels in this class is constantly on duty aiding yachtsmen and disabled ships. The United States Coast Guard was originally known as the U. S. Revenue Marine of which the “Joe Lane”, illustrated on page I1, was one of the first ships. The Coast Guard flies it’s own ensign and is distinctly apart from the U. S. Navy, although they co-operate very closely. The main training station is at New London, Conn., and many of the ships are serviced at that point.

THE SLAVER Many types of vessels were engaged in bringing negroes from Africa, to be sold in the South for plantation labor. Chained one to another, and forced to lie in the ‘tween decks, only 3 feet high, they were allowed on deck only when the weather was favorable. The suffering and mortality was tremendous. A captain who landed alive, half of his original cargo counted the voyage a success. Most of the vessels were built in the Chesapeake Bay. Long noted for bugeyes, tops’le schooners and clippers, the shipyards in and around Baltimore hummed to the tune of driven trenails. Forward, these ships were sharp and with a clean run aft, the local designers may honestly be credited with being the first to turn away from the clumsy apple bowed frigates and packets of an earlier period. As these slave ships were for private enterprise and their operations of necessity illegal, speed and low cost of construction were the essential factors. They only carried one carronade, mounted just abaft the foremast. The cargoes were generally landed in the West Indies and the survivors transferred to smaller craft that could elude both the watchful eyes of the Coast Guard and safely navigate the channels behind the Sea Islands off Georgia and the many little ports in the Carolinas. Unquestionably the square rigged ship makes the most beautiful model. The SLAVER, when completed, occupies a space 25″ long and 25″ high and is built to a scale of 3/16″ to the foot.

To offset this, commissions were given private individuals to ravage enemy shipping. An owner or captain enlisted his crew on a percentage basis; if the voyage was successful, the profits were tremendous. The principal ports for outfitting these ventures ran from Maine to the Virginia Capes. Mr. Kenneth Roberts’ story of the “LIVELY LADY”, is a fine account of one ship. They were comparatively small vessels but what they lacked in size was more than made up by smart handling, speed and accurate gunnery. Woe betide the clumsier commercial vessels who came their way. Manned by the cream of American seamen, often fighting against overwhelming odds, they brought back prizes that proved to be the basis of many fortunes. This model is an excellent example of the ships used. Built to a scale of 3/16″ to the foot, it occupies a space 24″ long and 22″ high.

Throughout history, the respective governments have been hard pressed to keep down smuggling between these ports. In the early part of the 19th century, the British Admiralty developed this type of boat, commonly known as the Revenue or Kings Cutter. The combination fore and aft rig and two large square sails gave them a tremendous press of canvas to sail either close hauled or run before the wind. With a battery of from ten to fourteen guns, deck and swivel type, manned by crack crews, they soon proved a scourge to the smugglers. Several unusual features of these boats include the shifting bowsprit, the leads of the preventer braces and the slinging of the main yard. Painted with a white underbody, black topsides and a light blue band over her rubbing strakes; red bulwarks and deck gear, the finished model presents a very striking appearance. Built to a scale of 3/16″ to the foot, the finished model occupies a space 26″ long and 25″ high.

NESTED DORIES DRYING SEINES 22 THE “SWIFT” OF IPSWICH SRE The American Privateer ”Swift” was built in 1778 and operated all through the Revolutionary War. She was a fine example of the fast Baltimore Clipper. ‘ Thanks to the efforts of H. |. Chapelle and W. A. Robinson, the ”Swift” has been recreated and the above pictures show the new ship as she is today. The builders went to great efforts in carrying out all the details of the original vessel and she is a beautiful example of craftsmanship. These photographs will help to give you a lot of useful information on rigging details. 23 CLIPPER SHIP “SWORDFISH” Ship designing changed rapidly in the 1840’s and 1850’s. Experience showed that cargo space could be greatly increased and the vessels still maintain the speed required to keep the great American Merchant Marine supreme. The Sea Witch, illustrated on page 24, is an excellent example of what was known as the extreme clipper. The Swordfish, built a few years later shows the modified lines of what is termed the medium clipper. Designed and built in 1851 by William H. Webb for the California trade of Barclay and Livingston, she carried many of the gold miners with their supplies. Her record of 91 days from New York to San Francisco was only eclipsed once. She also engaged in the China tea trade and made many passages to Canton. On one voyage home, her run from the “LINE” to New York still remains unsurpassed in sail. She ended her days on the Yangtse River, foundering there in 1864. Built to a scale of 3/32″ to the foot, the completed model occupies a space 23″ long and 15″ high.

WHALING SHIP “CHARLES W. MORGAN” The Charles W. Morgan is the last of the famous whalers that may still be seen. The late Colonel E. H. R. Green bought this ship and permanently imbeded her on his estate at Round Hill, Mass., thus preserving for posterity, a type of ship of a bygone era. The Morgan was built at Hillmans Shipyard, New Bedford, Mass., in 1841. she has been both bark and ship rigged. Her first voyage began Sept. 6, During her lifetime The model is ship rigged. 1841, under the command of Capt. Thomas A. Norton; she was gone for over three years and returned with a profit to her owners of about $70,000. In her 84 years at sea she has sailed every ocean and is estimated to have earned over $2,000,000. Since her active whaling days, the Morgan has figured prominently in many moving pictures; “MISS PETTICOAT”, “DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS”, and “JAVA HEAD.” Built to a scale of 5/32″ to the foot, the model occupies a space 26″ long and 24″ high.

Engaged in the China trade she broke all existing records between Canton and New York in the remarkable time of 81 days. Then to prove that this was no fluke, she bettered her previous record by making the run in 74 days and 14 hours. A record that has never been sur- passed in sail. With the beginning of the Gold Rush to California, the clippers earned tremendous profits carrying the “Forty-niners'” to San Francisco. The Sea Witch again proved her sailing qualities and was the first ship to clear the headlands of the Golden Gate in less than 100 days out of New York. For ten years she carried on a remarkable series of voyages and earned for herself a name that will always stand unsurpassed in the Golden Age of Sail. But like so many of her contemporaries, her career was short. She was wrecked in 1856 and left her bones to bleach on a reef off the coast of Cuba. Built to a scale of !/g” to the foot, the completed model occupies a space 36″ long and 24″ high.

U. S. FRIGATE CONSTITUTION “OLD IRONSIDES” Well was she nicknamed. Not alone for her ability to withstand the solid round and grape shot that poured into her, in her many engagements. But today, 143 years after she was built, she lays quietly afloat at the Boston Navy Yard; the ensign still proudly flying from her peak. This is indeed a record. True she has been rebuilt three times, but much of her original timber still stands. The old custom of the U. S. Navy was to christen each new ship with the name of a famous earlier one that had been decommissioned. The present custom is to name our battleships after states, cruisers after cities and destroyers after naval heroes. Only the newest branch of our fighting forces carries on the old tradition, thus the aircraft carriers of today are named the Lexington, Saratoga, Ranger, etc. Someday there will be a Constitution, but we hope that her flag will fly for many years yet to come. Her most famous engagement was under the command of Captain Isaac Hull with the British ship Guerriere in 1812. She served for a considerable time on the Barbary coast and it is to the credit of the U. S. Navy that piracy was stopped there. Subsequently she made a good will voyage around the world. Reconditioned at Boston in 1927, she made a trip to all the principal ports of the United States, returning to that base where she may be seen today. She makes a beautiful model. The graceful hull lines and rigging with many other interesting features including the carving on her quarter galleries, swiftered fore and main stays, bentick shrouds, etc. Built to a scale of 3/32″ to the foot, the finished model is 30″‘ long and 24″ high.

Sail plans are |/, actual size showing how to cut the sails for the proper fit; allowance for the roach; batten pockets and clew patches. All details for wire splicing, hollowing mast and complete rigging information both in profile and deck plan. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS This type of planked hull construction is the first ever to be offered commercially. It is the lightest type of a completely hollowed hull that can possibly be built; and lightness is the first important factor in building a racing model. The thin cedar planking, 3/32″ thick and 3g” wide bends easily around the frames. The planks are fastened \ with pegs set in glue. This permits the final sanding of . the hull to be brought to a beautiful finish and saves the weight of nails. Planking your hull also obviates the drudgery of shaping the inside of a model built on the bread and butter style. It is much lighter as it is quite impossible to reduce the hollowed out hull to less than !/,”” thick and maintain any degree of strength in the glue joints. “WINDWARD HO” 36″ RACING SLOOP “SPINDRIFT” 50/800 RACING SLOOP Showing details of hull construction.

Allow this to dry thoroughly. Squeeze a small quantity of the Viridian paint in a saucer and add a touch of white. Mix this thoroughly and lay on a very thin coat with a bristle brush. It need not be smooth; the next step will attend to that. Now make a pad, about two inches across, from a paper handkerchief, and dab the color evenly over the surface. This coat must be thin, as its purpose is to tint the gold color to green. This must be absolutely dry before you proceed with the next stage. Mix some of the red paint with a touch of white in the same manner and apply it in the same way, holding the edge of a piece of paper along the water line to prevent overrunning. That’s all there is to it. Before working on your hull | strongly advise your making one or more trials on pieces of wood with a surface similar to that on your model. You may wish to vary the amount of white in your pigment. Your own judgment will dictate the best mixture, but | urge too litle rather than too much. If the scale of your model warrants it and you wish to indicate the divisions in the copper plates, this can be done by lightly indenting the surface with a pointed instrument before leafing. Be very careful to do this very lightly, as the faintest. mark will show through the leaf. i IS a regrettable fact that many models which show skilled workmanship and close adherence to scale are badly marred by clumsy copper sheathing. Even in skilled hands, no matter how thin the sheet copper may be, it is out of scale and its application to the hull a tedious and unsatisfactory proceeding. It is a curious thing that many modelmakers who would never think of even indicating the hinges on the galley door, must needs, by some means or other, mark out each copper plaie, nail heads and all. One need only spare a moment to scale up these nails to find they would be about three inches across on the actual ship. More than one modeller has confessed to me that he wished he had left the sheathing off, so tired was he of the job and dissatisfied with the outcome. | have lately been experimenting on the subject and have, | think, found a way out which cuts the work down to a matter of hours and leaves a pleasing and easily achieved result. It calls for the following supplies: a small bottle of twenty-four hour gold size; a book of metal leaf; a small bottle of white shellac; three tubes of artist’s colors, Viridian, light red, and white. Having painted your hull and rubbed it to a perfect smoothness, apply with a soft brush a THIN coat of the gold size to the area to be coppered. Allow this to dry overnight. Cut the book of leaf in half with a pair of shears, so that the sheets may be more easily handled. Lift the first sheet of leaf with the piece of tissue which underlies it and apply it to the sized surface. If, in your inexperienced hands, it wrinkles, don’t let that worry you. It is so thin the wrinkles will disappear. With a litle practice it will go on very smoothly. Pat the leaf flat with a small pad made of a paper handkerchief. Each successive leaf must overlap the previous one fo insure proper covering. When the entire surface has SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS First inquire of your local dealer, if he does not stock our products we will be glad to advise you of the nearest one, In the event that there is no dealer in your vicinity remit by check, postal or express money order.
