Uraed, The egg that crossed the atlantic by Ole M. Ellefsen

The Uraed was built in 1904 in Norway by Ole Brude in an effort to design a safer lifeboat. Brude had a full-size version built, and upon hearing that France was offering a one-million-franc prize for an improved lifeboat, and that the judging was to be at the World's Fair in St. Louis in 1904, he decided to sail his egg across the Atlantic to New York to prove its sea-worthiness, haul it by train to St. Louis, and claim the prize. Apparently the voyage went pretty smoothly for Brude and his 3 man crew for the first part of the journey, but then trouble set in and the trip took longer than expected and they missed the World’s Fair. They landed in St. John’s NF first but wished to reach New York so set sail again, this time into wicked winter storms. The Uraed and its crew landed on Pavilion Beach in January of 1905.

Hello everyone,

I’ve gotten several more items from
ANCRE.
For a long time I have wanted to get Bernard Frolich’s book “The Art of Ship Modeling”. The book is very big. 300 pages that are packed with lots of information. Also, after seeing Rick Noyes post of his beautiful longboat I had to get the monograph. ANCRE also included a 2024 calendar with the purchase.
I have always been very happy with ANCRE’s quality and their customer service.

On the advice of Kroum Batchvarov I ordered the book "La Belle". It was delivered today and it is a thick and heavy book. It is not unpacked yet and I definitely need a long time to read and compare with the results of the prints from "Academia" (picture below) and the building plans from "Boudriot"

How can I present the book without infringing copyright?

NELSON'S SHIPS : A History of the Vessels in which he served.

by Peter Goodwin
H/B 312 pages.

This is truly a Mouth watering account of the 36 Vessels in which Nelson Served.
Even if you are not a big Nelson fan, the historical information contained within this book for each of these Vessels should surely please those who have a thirst like myself for every possible piece of knowledge about these and any period sailing vessels.
From Structure & Design, Service history, Refit history, Commanders, fate and Sailing Qualities of each vessel, this book has the lot.

Again this is just a small taster of what this book contains and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
