Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions. And don't take yourself too seriously! wirewolf (John, AKA - Cap), Forum Administrator

Description » Subtitled 'A True Story of Peril on the Sea' this book takes the reader through the harrowing days that Captain Kurt Carlsen endured after his ship The Flying Enterprise was hit by a rogue wave which badly cracked the hull and was then hit by a second rogue wave the next day which knocked it over on it's port side and from which it was unable to recover. This well written book is one of the most, and possibly the most, gripping tales of the sea I have ever read. The author gives good background details on all the major characters involved and the detailed description of the hours on board the crippled ship (12/27/51 - 1/10/52) kept me physically tense throughout. Having lived through the event once via newspaper and radio reports I seem to have managed to live through it a second time via Delaney's wonderful writing but it was even more exciting the second time 'round.

Click to view item » American Heavy Frigates 1794-1826
Description » This book is published by Osprey publishing which does a lot of quick reference books for modelers sold generally in hobby stores. It is an 8 x 10 paperback with glossy paper. It has a brief history the American Humphreys class frigates, i.e United States, Constitution, President etc for a total of 18 ships. It ONLY covers those frigates. It is basically a drawn out encyclopedia entry (48 pages) with some color plates and drawings. A couple showing mast layouts that might be useful to modelers. A cut away of the Constitution's deck layout is also included. This is mainly a historical quick reference book as such, useful pictures/info for modeling is lacking. It works good for those with limited space or budget (it's cheap) for a full library. JI give it roughly 1 out of 5 for modeling and 3 out of 5 for historical info.
