The Ship Model Society of New Jersey |
||
We encourage you to browse our Web site and if you live in the NY/NJ area or are visiting from out of town, please feel free to come to a meeting.   Several members of our group have begun building the Hannah (a colonial naval schooner). It is a plank on frame model based on the plans from Harold Hahn. Visit the Hannah project page for updates and info. Hannah was the first ship commissioned by George Washington for the Continental Army in 1775. She was originally a merchant schooner that was refitted to carry four 4-pounder cannon and 10 or 12 swivel guns. This Hannah model is Mr. Hahn's. It is located in the Washington Navy Yard Museum. |
The Ship Model Society of New Jersey, with more than 80 members, is the only association in the Garden State dedicated to historically accurate, scale ship modeling. Our members include both professional and non-professional builders, naval artists, authors, and maritime historians. Our interests cover the entire spectrum of maritime subjects, from Viking longboats to nuclear submarines. The club members primarily build static display, but also some radio control steam, electric and sail. President -Robert Fivehouse Vice President - Thomas McGowan
