Newer member here; first post. Been looking for this volume for a while now with no luck - have Vol 1 , but cannot find Vol 2.
 
Hi J,

Because it is a highly sought-after collector's item among model builders, prices on the secondhand market can sometimes skyrocket, reaching up to hundreds of dollars per set.
I assume you have already tried the following options, but just in case:
  • Directly from the publisher: Check the product page on Sea Watch Books to see if reprints or secondhand copies are available.
  • International book search engines: Check platforms such as AbeBooks or BookFinder, which specialize in rare and out-of-print titles. Enter the full title and the author's name there.
Hopefully, this helps you track down a copy.
Succes!

Afternoon Peter:
Thanks! I did try those. As far as I can tell there is not a single copy of Volume 2 in the wild anywhere. Sigh. I have reached out to SeaWatch but I'm not hopeful given it seems to have been out of stock for quite a long time.

They are sold out on several books and have been for a year or two. I THINK the minimum print run is 200 or 300 in order to keep the prices reasonable so might be why Michael is hesitant to restock, what with the volumes being well over 10 years old now and sales for these particular volumes now tiny.

I just noticed that Ed Tosti has reposted his entire Naiad build log on the rebooted MSW forum. If it's anything like his later Young America build log, his MSW build log is essentially the subsequent book(s) published by Seawatch. You may want to check out his Naiad log at https://www.modelshipworld.com/topic/590-naiad-1797-by-edt-160/. You may, however, want to sign in to MSW with a different log in name because some SoS members are reporting that they have been "banned" by the new MSW simply because they are also members of SoS. I can't definitively confirm this, but it is what some are saying has happened to them.
