Merrimack Valley Model Ship Club Model Show August 2017

Model Ship Show - Newburyport, MA

[@stephenduffy5406]

Very glad to see someone finally modeling Newburyport's own, USS Wasp. In 1814, under the command of Master Commandant Johnston Blakeley, she raided the English Channel and destroyed two British sloops of war, HMS Reindeer and HMS Avon, the only US naval ship to destroy two comparable enemies on one cruise. The Wasp also sank a dozen valuable British merchantmen. She was lost at sea with all hand some time after November, 1814. Her 173 man crew were all from Newburyport or the adjacent towns, so her loss created a great hardship for the community. America's most accomplished, yet least known sailing man of war!

Model ships are the manifestations of dreams of adventure. Thanks for sharing the wonderful craftsmanship of all these fine models. I sailed 8 years as a Merchant Marine engineering officer, and love square rigged ship models. In a few more years, as things wind down, I plan on building either HMS Victory, HMS Sovereign of the Seas, or perhaps a C5-s-75a cargo ship, the SS President Cleveland (originally the S.S. American Mail), which I sailed in the far East first as her Midshipman, then later as her 2nd Assistant Engineer.

I'm in need of help.I am trying to repair an old Galleon for a friend of mine.What ever glue I use whether it's cyanoacetic or epoxy the parts won't stick. I obviously can't use wood glue as I have to hold the parts in place by tweezers with no room to spare. Any ideas? Thanks.
