Description: Ben Lankford is the author of the 48-page, step-by-step instruction manual included with the Model Shipways USS Constitution (1797) Model Kit (MS2040). Released in the late 1990s, this 1:76 scale wooden plank-on-bulkhead kit is renowned for its historical accuracy.
One has to establish exactly what a ship looked like at the time of it making name for itself, be it an epic voyage, battle or some other event. Our research usually starts with obtaining copies of the original plans of the ship. Sometimes one can also get a good set of ship model plans from companies that specialize in ship model plans.
When a ship was damaged in a battle or a storm it was often not just repaired but refitted as well. Because such refits often resulted in a ship being modified quite extensively, one has to spend a lot of time piecing it all together. For this we would study the reports from the shipyards where the refit took place. Salvage reports of ships that was sunk also reveals a great deal of information. Newspaper articles of the time are often also source of information. Even myths and folklore sometimes reveal facts that help filling in the missing pieces. Ultimately a visit to the actual ship or replica, where it is often dry-docked at some maritime museum, helps one to piece the puzzle together.
We have a vast library of books and ships plans that we have built up over the years. We also have an association with most major Maritime Museums around the world. We are able to research virtually any vessel that has ever sailed the Seven Seas. Our research capabilities are beyond compare.
