  • Catalog71 Update 6-6-21
    To you craftsmen who love ships . here’s a world of satisfaction in creating accurate replicas of old and new ships_– clippers, yachts, frigates, tugs and freighters. You who are about to undertake your first model, as well as you who have been building for years, will find something herein that will interest you. Our sincere wish is that through this catalog we may be of real help to you in creating your models– and that this will be the beginning of a riendship that will long endure. About A. J. Fisher A. J. Fisher was founded in 1925 by Archibald J. Fisher. Archibald was a seaman who plied the Oceans and Great Lakes as a chief engineer. Mr. Fisher ran the business until he passed away in 1957. Raymond Irwin bought the business at that time and in 1960 Robert Irwin, his son, joined him when he left the service. Robert took over A. J. Fisher when his father retired in 1974. Robert continued A. J. Fisher until 2001 when he retired. A. J. Fisher has been owned by William Partridge since 2003. Our goal is to maintain the fine quality ship model kits produced for over 90 years and to update and reissue over 20 of the original A.J. Fisher classic solid hull ship model kits. The A. J. Fisher fittings listed in this catalog are cast in pewter unless otherwise noted. Whether you are about to begin your first model or if you have been building models for years we hope there is something in the A.

The latter are hermaphrodite brigs, or “half-brigs”, or simply “brigs” to use the jargon of laconic whalemen. Kate Cory was built in 1856 by Frank Sisson and Eli Allen in Westport Point, Massachusetts for Alexander H. Cory, one of the lead- ing merchants of that community. The ship was named after Alexander’s daughter. Registered at 132 tons net, Kate Cory was 75' 6" in length between perpendiculars, 9' 1-1/2" depth, and had a beam of 22' 1". The last large vessel to be built within the difficult confines of that port, she was also one of the last small whalers to be built specifically for her trade; most of the later whaling brigs and schooners were converted freighters or fishermen. While originally rigged as a schooner, Kate Cory was converted to a brig in 1858, this rig affording steadier motion in heavy seas or while cutting-in whales, not to mention saving much wear and costly repair to spars, sails and rigging.

A bulkhead crossed the ship at the forward end of the first-class cabin passengers' quarters which were built in the after part of the ship, below this poop deck. Without this unity of effort, the sudden swinging backward of the footrope would take the rope out from under a man and throw him off the yard.
