"Own a gift of Nautical History!"

We offer both a Captain's Line and an Admiral's Line of ships.

Our Captain's Line consists of replicas of original ships that are built from pictures and drawings.

Our Admiral's Line consists of exact "to scale" Museum Quality models of the original ships. The Admiral's line of ships are more detailed and built from blueprints.

"All Models Are Hand Crafted Wooden Ships"

  • The ships are 100% hand crafted, put together piece by piece, similar to an actual ship. There are no model kits used here. The wood is of the finest quality.
  • All our ships are Plank on Frame construction (hollow hulls). Ribs on the inside, piece by piece on the hull and deck. If you look closely, you can see the nails used to secure the strips of wood to the internal ribs.
  • Some Admiral's Line ships utilize double plank on frame construction. Wood is cut piece by piece and put over the existing ship's hull to the water line. It' a lot of work to achieve the realistic.
  • Appreciate the rigging, the stiching on the sails, and the fantastic craftsmanship.
  • The lines on the ship are working lines. They can be tightened and loosened.
  • The Admiral's Line ship's sails can actually be furled or unfurled by tracing each working line, although this is not recommended unless you are an avid model builder.
  • Each ship comes with a solid wooden stand and a brass nameplate. Additionally, we offer a FREE Solid Brass Nameplate that can be engraved with a personal presentation message. What could be a finer gift for that nautical enthusiast?
  • Every ship comes with her history printed on antiqued paper along with a stand. This is displayed beside the ship.
  • The ships are imported from all over the world from master craftsmen who specialize in model boat building.

The boats are made from woods such as cherry, different types of teak, mahogany, oak, rosewood, ash, and other exotic woods. For example, The Cutty Sark is make from Mahogany and Teak, the Dutch Merchant is make from Rosewood, and the Wendur and Valiant are made from blends of Teak.
