The ship s principal lifeboat, it was also used for coming and going to the ship to transport supplies and take empty water casks ashore to be filled with fresh water. Longboats were kept fully provisioned at all times in case of an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLongboats were carvel built with the planks meeting flush at the seams rather than overlapping. A full bow, high sides and fine aft lines made it fairly seaworthy in heavy winds and steep waves. The interior was fitted with thwarts to accommodate eight to ten oarsmen. Many longboats were equipped with a removable mast and sails to allow for more extended voyages. A ship s gun could also be mounted in the bow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by master ship modeler Chuck Passaro, our longboat is a true plank-on-frame model, built much like the real longboats of the 18th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe model kit uses the finest laser cut basswood for false keel, ribs, locker, floorboards and thwarts.

The model's origin is uncertain: one claim asserts that the model was made by the British Admiralty after the vessel's capture to study her fine hull form and enormous rig; another faction has argued that the model was made in America and subsequently used as a guide for a painting of a naval engagement involving the original brig. All that is certain is that the model was in English hands prior to its acquisition by Colonel Rogers and one can only wonder how the model got there if it had been made in America during the turbulent post-Revolutionary period, and by whom, assuming time, money, and talent were available for such an involved undertaking.\u003cbr\u003e     \u003cbr\u003e     Due to the number of vessels named \u003cem\u003eFair American \u003c\/em\u003ewhich participated in the Revolution and the amount of conflicting data pertaining to these names, it is virtually impossible at this time to identify the \u003cem\u003eFair American \u003c\/em\u003ewhich the Rogers model represents. A brig of that name which closely resembles the model participated in the General Monk - Hyder Ally engagement of April, 1782. A painting by Vemey of this action is in the Naval Academy Museum and the resemblance between the brig depicted and the Rogers model is close, but not conclusively so, and any further association between the model and this painting can only be conjecture, pending further evidence. It should be added that at the time of that engagement, the brig was under English colors, having been captured from the revolutionaries a year or two previously. She was retaken by the Americans in the course of pursuing the \u003cem\u003eHyder Ally's\u003c\/em\u003e convoy up the Delaware when she ran aground.\u003cbr\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe Rogers model, whatever \u003cem\u003eFair American \u003c\/em\u003eshe represents, is an interesting example of a rigged block model from her period. If built for the Admiralty, it may have been a \"rush job\" intended to answer pressing questions about hull form and rigging without regard for the time-consuming frills commonly associated with \"Admiralty models\". The finish and carvings are a bit crude, and the ravages of time and wood shrinkage have not enhanced these features. Workmanship of the rigging and rigging fittings is more impressive and one wonders if rigging and sails were not the more important objects for Admiralty study, assuming this was the model's purpose.\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe model's rigging betrays some apparent anachronisms, the dolphin striker and main boom topping lift being the most obvious. Have there been efforts to \"improve\" the model's rigging during subsequent repairs or, if all rigging is truly contemporary, do we need to revise some of our notions about 18th century rigging practice? Certainly the Vemey painting, done in 1802, cannot be wholly trusted and the fact that many of the Rogers models have been re-rigged, or newly rigged while in Rogers' possession, might mean that all details of this model's rigging may not be trustworthy.

Bound for Virginia to establish a permanent colony in North America, she carried 102 men, women and children. Many of the passengers were Separatists fleeing religious persecution in Europe. After two months at sea, the ship dropped anchor at what is now Provincetown, MA. It was almost 200 miles farther north than planned, but winter was approaching, so the Pilgrims decided to stay. Half of the colony did not survive that first winter, but the rest lived on and prospered.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e   Historians have tried to identify the Mayflower, but all that s certain is that she was a wine-ship of 180 tons of the type commonly used during the early 17th century. In 1957 a British group sponsored the voyage of a replica from Plymouth, England to Plymouth, MA. The vessel was given to the United States as an expression of international goodwill and remains on exhibit at Plymouth, MA.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e   Model Expo -   kit is a re-make of the very popular Mayflower manufactured by Model Expo -  in the late 1950s with a very notable improvement in that the hull is now plank-on-bulkhead.

Basswood is also supplied for deck cabins, hatches and chain boxes. Wooden blocks and deadeyes number over 100, and rigging comes in three diameters. You'll find brass eyebolts, chainplates and strop rings. The Britannia metal fitting set is one of the most comprehensive we've ever compiled, including windlass parts, anchors, bilge pumps, props, exhaust pipes, fiferails and smokeheads.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e   One of the most remarkable features of our Model Shipways \u003cem\u003eBenjamin W.

At that time river shipping was inexpensive. A bushel of coal was carried from Pittsburgh to New Orleans for the price of a first class postage stamp. But, the Ohio River was shallow during the summer and often choked by ice in the winter. This made steamboat travel seasonal and delays frequent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1906, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the Green River Lock and Dam 6, just downstream from Kentucky s Mammoth Cave. Chaperon was the first boat of its kind to pass through the new locks. In addition to hauling cargo, she ran sightseeing excursions between Bowling Green and Mammoth Cave during the summer months. Sold just before WWI, Chaperon sailed the Tallahatchie River until fire destroyed her in 1922.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe model you ll build from Model Shipways'  kit will be a historically accurate and perfectly scaled replica almost three feet long. An amazing number of laser-cut basswood and limewood parts make up the hull, superstructure, paddlewheel, gangplank and railings. A photo-etched brass sheet provides incredible ornamental detail.

On September 27th, she set sail for Gibraltar under the command of Lt. Charles Stewart. Syren cruised the Mediterranean during the spring and summer of 1804 and participated in the attacks on Tripoli. She remained there for almost a year after the peace treaty with Tripoli was signed on June 10, 1805. Departing Gibraltar on May 28 of 1806, she reached the Washington Navy Yard in early August, where she was laid up until her reactivation in 1807. During her service in the War of 1812, she was captured by the 74-gun HMS Medway after an 11-hour chase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by master modeler Chuck Passaro, Model Shipways' kit is authentic to the last detail.
