MAGNIFICENT VERY HIGH QUALITY HANDCRAFTED MODEL SHIP.  THE SHIP IS VERY HIGH QUALITY AND HANDCRAFTED FROM SCRATCH BY A MASTER CRAFTSMAN.  THE WOOD IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

The model ship is 37" X 29"

HMS VICTORY The ultimate British fighting vessel and worthly of her name, HMS Victory was 227 feet in length and carried 850 men when at full capacity. Captained by the famous Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson who was shot and killed aboard the HMS Victory during the Battle Of Trafalgar.

Commissioned in 1778, HMS. Victory possessed the endurance to remain at sea for up to six months at a time. She had almost 30 years hard service at the time of Trafalgar and was a veteran of many hard fought naval battles. On October 21, 1805, one of the most momentous battles in European history broke out off Cape Trafalgar, Spain. The combined fleets of France and its ally, Spain led by Napoleon were to invade England with his all powerful army but were frustrated by the supremacy of Britain as a sea power.  Both the Victory and Lord Nelson have risen to fame throughout history and into the hearts of British seamen.

Only the highest quality woods such as rosewood, ebony, blackwood, mahogany and teak are used in building the model ships. In general, this is how the following woods are used:

Ebony (for blocks and small details)
English Sycamore (for the hull)
Rosewood (for the hull)
Blackwood (for the hull)
Mahogany (for the masts, squares, crow nests)
Cherrywood (for the deck)
Canons, muskets, anchors and other tiny details are made of metal (for decoration)
Sails and rigging lines are made of linen.

The model is handmade from scratch by skilled craftsmen and it's built according to scale of the original ship, through original plans or pictures using plank on frame construction. The hull is joined by multi-pieces of dry thin wooden bar together. Inside the hull a special glue is used which helps thin wooden bars stay close to one another and not split, crack or twist when the weather changes. The construction method is entirely by hand and it takes hundreds of man hours by an artisan to finish.

THE MODEL SHIP IS NOT A TOY AND SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS ACCEPTED THROUGH PAYPAL.   THE SHIPPING PRICE SHOWN IS FOR THE CONTINENTAL U.S. ONLY.

THE SHIPMENT WEIGHS ABOUT 40 POUNDS AND THE BOX SIZE IS APPROXIMATELY 48X48X24 INCHES IN SIZE.
