SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS  In 1667 she was considered the most powerful warship ever built.  The English took great pride in her. She came after a period of serious post-Armada neglect and she stood out as a major step in the development of the sailing warship. When she was produced, she was considered a masterpiece of the mid-seventeenth century.

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)
