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

Ditto.
Here's a link to a page in the Model Ships site about the Conny:
http://shipmodeling.info/ironsides_page.htm 
Try to view it with Internet Explorer (won't work with Netscape) so you can hear the Navy Hymn.

............the only way I will be able to get more information will be to visit the Conny and take pictures myself.

If you ever get the chance to visit Boston, you'll love visiting the Conny. What a amazing job they did of restoring her. =D> I was there about two years ago. What a feeling you get when you're standing on the deck. You can feel the history of this great vessel and its' past crews. The Museum is just loaded with all kinds of artifacts and old documents. I also realized just how tall I am (6'2"). If I had ever served onboard when she was in active service, I would have knock myself out silly. I don't know how those sailors lived in such tight quarters? And I thought we had it bad on the Kitty Hawk!
I'm glad the Navy is taking such good care of her.

Default Nautical Research Journal on 2 CDs

I noticed the NRG offers their back issues of the Nautical Research Journal on 2 CDs, all 40 volumes, indexed! Is it worth the $80 if you are a member? This seems like a treasure trove of info.

Worth the money. You can save or copy the disks to a file on your hard drive for faster access (provided you have the extra space).

Default Master and Commander

Will be available on DVD on 4/20/04, FYI.

I don't buy too many movies but I'll make an exception.
