NEW WOOD HANDCRAFTED MODEL SHIP FULLY ASSEMBLED AND READY FOR DISPLAY WHEN RECEIVED.

THE MODEL SHIP IS 34" X 31"

LE SAINT ESPRIT

 

The Saint Esprit was built in Brest France and launched in 1765.  She served as battle ship from 1965 – 1795 and was part of the French Fleet of de Grasse.  She helped contribute to victory in the War for Independence during the Battle of the Capes in 1781 by becoming part of the Franco-American force.  The result was the British surrender of Yorktown Virginia which ended the fighting in the War for American Independence.

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

The model is handcrafted from scratch by skilled craftsmen.  The ship is 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 to finish.

Only the highest quality woods like 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 CRATED AND THEN BOXED FOR SAFE SHIPPING.

SHIPPING CHARGE SHOWN IS FOR THE CONTINENTAL U.S. ONLY.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS MUST PAY THROUGH PAYPAL.

THIS IS NOT A TOY, PLEASE KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
