BRIEF HISTORY

USS Syren, a 240-ton brig, was built by Nathaniel Hutton at Philadelphia in 1803. On September 27th, she set sail for Gibraltar under the command of Lt. Charles Stewart. Syren cruised the Mediterranean during the spring and summer of 1804 and participated in the attacks on Tripoli. She remained there for almost a year after the peace treaty with Tripoli was signed on June 10, 1805. Departing Gibraltar on May 28 of 1806, she reached the Washington Navy Yard in early August, where she was laid up until her reactivation in 1807. During her service in the War of 1812, she was captured by the 74-gun HMS Medway after an 11-hour chase.

Designed by master modeler Chuck Passaro, Model Shipways' kit is authentic to the last detail. Basswood keel and bulkheads are laser cut for easy assembly, and framing templates help you build a perfect hull.

We supply several sizes of basswood strips for deck and hull planking, plus self-adhesive copper tape for plating the hull below the waterline. An abundant fittings package includes photo-etched brass detailing, brass eyebolts, Belaying Pins, nails, gudgeons and pintles, over 200 wooden blocks and deadeyes, gratings, plus dowels for masts and spars. Several sizes of tan and black rigging line, netting, printed flags and grating are supplied as well. Armament consists of 16 precision-cast Britannia metal carronades and two long guns on wooden trucks. The model carries a ship's longboat that's a mini-kit in itself. Actual sized plans are on 8 sheets, and 140-page spiral bound instruction manual shows all stages of construction.

Syren was my 4th ship model and in many ways, my favorite. The detailed plans are a treat and the great detail in fittings, rigging, furniture, etc. was challenging and rich learning experience. Geneous amount of materials are included in case they are needed.

US Brig Syren

This is a challenging model. Like most wood ship models, it requires time and patients. The plans and instruction manual are very detailed and will guide you through the build. You'll need to study both well. I only gave it four stars because there are some discrepancies between the plans and the instructions and, mostly, because there are a few items called for in the instructions and/or shown on the plans that are not included with the kit. This was my third wood ship model and second plank on frame. I recently completed mine. It took me 2 years to complete.

Model Builder

This is not a negative review of the actual model kit. My intent is to inform any and all potential builders that the Forum as indicated in the Instruction Book is NOT reachable. If by chance you were able to contact Chuck Passaro directly asking for help, your attempt would be of no avail. Chuck passes you off to a Forum without answering a simple question or questions. There are naturally a few things in the instructions that are easy to work around and get the desired effect. Chuck Passaro's instructions are very vague at times to say the least. This model should not be started by anyone that has not build at least one or two similar models, hopefully not by Mr. Passaro.
