The US Brig Eagle

The US Brig Eagle 1814

 

 

The US Brig Eagle fought in the War of 1812 on Lake Champlain (The Battle of Plattsburg Bay).

 

The Eagle was built at Vergennes, Vermont between July 23rd and August 11th of 1814 by shipwright Adam Brown. An amazing feat in itself when you consider it generally took many months to build a ship of this size and the shipbuilders who built this ship did it in only 19 days. But time was of the essence.

 

This modeling project at 1/4" = 1' scale is based on a Masters Thesis and plans by Professor Kevin J Crisman of Texas A & M University. It is based on an acutal ship with actual information ascertained from the remains of the ship itself, a unique situation when you consider most model ships we see today are merely built based on conceptual drawings alone. It was developed and run as an online build at the Navy Board Models website (now closed) Professor Crisman aided when possible
