The model's origin is uncertain: one claim asserts that the model was made by the British Admiralty after the vessel's capture to study her fine hull form and enormous rig; another faction has argued that the model was made in America and subsequently used as a guide for a painting of a naval engagement involving the original brig. All that is certain is that the model was in English hands prior to its acquisition by Colonel Rogers and one can only wonder how the model got there if it had been made in America during the turbulent post-Revolutionary period, and by whom, assuming time, money, and talent were available for such an involved undertaking.\u003cbr\u003e     \u003cbr\u003e     Due to the number of vessels named \u003cem\u003eFair American \u003c\/em\u003ewhich participated in the Revolution and the amount of conflicting data pertaining to these names, it is virtually impossible at this time to identify the \u003cem\u003eFair American \u003c\/em\u003ewhich the Rogers model represents. A brig of that name which closely resembles the model participated in the General Monk - Hyder Ally engagement of April, 1782. A painting by Vemey of this action is in the Naval Academy Museum and the resemblance between the brig depicted and the Rogers model is close, but not conclusively so, and any further association between the model and this painting can only be conjecture, pending further evidence. It should be added that at the time of that engagement, the brig was under English colors, having been captured from the revolutionaries a year or two previously. She was retaken by the Americans in the course of pursuing the \u003cem\u003eHyder Ally's\u003c\/em\u003e convoy up the Delaware when she ran aground.\u003cbr\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe Rogers model, whatever \u003cem\u003eFair American \u003c\/em\u003eshe represents, is an interesting example of a rigged block model from her period. If built for the Admiralty, it may have been a \"rush job\" intended to answer pressing questions about hull form and rigging without regard for the time-consuming frills commonly associated with \"Admiralty models\". The finish and carvings are a bit crude, and the ravages of time and wood shrinkage have not enhanced these features. Workmanship of the rigging and rigging fittings is more impressive and one wonders if rigging and sails were not the more important objects for Admiralty study, assuming this was the model's purpose.\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe model's rigging betrays some apparent anachronisms, the dolphin striker and main boom topping lift being the most obvious. Have there been efforts to \"improve\" the model's rigging during subsequent repairs or, if all rigging is truly contemporary, do we need to revise some of our notions about 18th century rigging practice? Certainly the Vemey painting, done in 1802, cannot be wholly trusted and the fact that many of the Rogers models have been re-rigged, or newly rigged while in Rogers' possession, might mean that all details of this model's rigging may not be trustworthy. A book review of the Rogers Collection catalog by R. C. Andersen in the Mariner's Mirror, vol. 41, 1955, p. 85 gives a fuller discussion of this controversial situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                               \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/WP2015MB_Fair_American_Rev._9.14.20_compressed.pdf?v=1759777452\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstructions - English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!--\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Espanol.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstrucciones Español\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Italiano.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eIstruzioni - Italiano\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Francais.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstructions - Français\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Deutsch.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eAnweisungen - Deutsch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  --\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/WP2015ML_Fair_american.doc?v=1759775660\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Model Expo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957692436582,"sku":"MS2015","price":359.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/fair-amer_4f5e0c28-9617-4cc5-8341-029819fae41d.jpg?v=1772490955"},{"product_id":"model-shipways-yacht-america-schooner-1851-scale-1-64-length-25","title":"Model Shipways Yacht America Schooner 1851 - Scale 1:64 - Length 25\"","description":"BRIEF HISTORY During the early years of the New York Yacht Club, racing for prize money was the primary objective of most members.

The Whitworth saw action at Gettysburg, Charleston, Vicksburg, Fredericksburg and many other American Civil War battlefields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eKIT FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e   Historically accurate and perfectly scaled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanly cast Britannia metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentically detailed cannon Model Shipways Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic spoked wooden wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearly written illustrated instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to build   assembly \u0026amp; painting time 5-10 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eGuns Of History Kit No. MS4001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eModel length 10\" \/ width 4\" \/ height 3-1\/4\" \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eScale 1:16\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty Level:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEntry Level \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-2\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e  \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS4001_Whitworth_Limber_instructions_NEW.pdf?v=1759839825\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstructions - English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!--\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Espanol.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstrucciones Español\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Italiano.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eIstruzioni - Italiano\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Francais.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstructions - Français\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Deutsch.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eAnweisungen - Deutsch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  --\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS4001_Whithworth.doc?v=1759839795\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Model Expo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957700595814,"sku":"MS4001","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/whitworh_19838241-6900-4eec-a686-fed23a3b261a.jpg?v=1759420787"},{"product_id":"u-s-marshal-s-jail-wagon-1885-wyoming-territory-wood-and-metal-kit-1-12-scale","title":"U.S. MARSHAL’S JAIL WAGON 1885 Wyoming Territory Wood and Metal Kit 1:12 Scale","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eBRIEF HISTORY\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe U.S. Marshal’s Jail Wagon is an accurate replica ( 12 times smaller) than the real one still proudly displayed in Wyoming.
