The Model Shipways plans for

Pride of Baltimore II were prepared in 1993

and 1994. They were developed from the original design drawings for the ship by

Naval Architect Thomas C. Gillmer. Mr. Gillmer was also the designer of the first

Pride of Baltimore, and other replica ships such as the pungy, Lady Maryland, and

the brig, Peggy Stewart.

In addition to the design drawings, the Model Shipways plans incorporate

current as-built details of the ship. A number of modifications were made to the

original design drawings during construction, and even during the period follow-

ing construction. Photographs were taken, and detailed measurements were

made to assure an accurate representation of the ship in Baltimore, Maryland. The

plans represent the ship as it appeared from October 1993 to April 1994.

Model Shipways is indebted to Mr. W. Bruce Quackenbush, Jr., Executive

Director of the Pride of Baltimore, Inc. ; Mr. Michael McGeady, Deputy Director;

and Captains Jan Miles and Robert Glover. These people not only encouraged the

project, but assisted with taking measurements off the ship, made numerous

sketches of details, and provided descriptions of the various rigs and operations.

With the ship continually on the move around the world, the project could not

have been completed without their assistance.
