NICE LARGE TEAK WOOD BASE WITH BEAUTIFUL SCULPTURE STRONG MEN HOLDERS!
The ships are built from scratch. They are not pre-fabricated kits that someone puts together. All handcrafted from real wood taking many hours of tedious labor.
Double plank on frame construction, wood is then placed piece by piece form the hull and deck. If you look closely, you can see the nails used to secure the strips of wood to the internal ribs. This attention to detail alone sets us apart from competitors. Some Admiral's Line ships utilize double plank on frame construction. Wood is cut piece by piece and put over the base of the ship's hull to the water line. It's a lot of work and creates a fantastic look.
Incredible quality & detail, hand-sewn cotton sails one of the owner's favorites!
The rigging, stitching and attention to detail on each ship is outstanding.
The ship is made from fine quality wood such as teak, mahogany, oak, rosewood and ash.
100% money back guarantee!
No assembly required
History about the ship:
Built in Havana in 1769, Santisima Trinidad carried 120 guns on three decks. Badly damaged in the battle of Cape St. Vincent in 1799, she was rebuilt with the addition of a fourth deck and the number of cannon increased to 136, making her the largest ship of her time. In 1805, she sailed into the Battle of Trafalgar with a crew of 1,048 men and her immense 4-decked sides showing the barrels of her formidable guns. The British disabled and captured her during the battle. She sank in a storm the following day, ending her 35-year service to the Spanish Navy.
