From the publisher's description: the new publication introduces a brand-new colour annual that focuses on all facets of model shipbuilding, as well as the broader topics of sailing ships, maritime archaeology, ship restoration, maritime art, and culture. This publication takes over from the Model Shipwright quarterly journal, which ran 144 issues over 35 years, and extends the format. Fully international, Shipwright will carry up to 12 major feature articles by leading writers on ship modeling and maritime history and culture. It will also include a regular news section, notes, and queries, extensive book reviews and review essays, an events calendar, a gallery, and a look at the year in maritime art." NOTE: additional photos of all the volumes are available upon request.…
