The America Replica Ship - 1851 (Collector Line)

All ships are 100% built from scratch, put together piece by piece, similar to an actual ship. Model kits are not used. The wood is cut from trees.

Plank on frame construction (hollow hulls). Ribs on the inside, 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.

Some Museum Quality 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, making a fantastic looking replica.

Working lines on all our ship models. They can be tightened and loosened.

Each ship comes with a solid wooden stand and a brass name plate.

Each ship comes with her history printed on antiqued paper along with a stand to display beside the ship.

The boats are made from high quality woods including: different types of teak, mohogany, oak, rosewood, ash, and other exotic woods. For example, the Cutty Sark is made from mohagany and teak, the Dutch Merchant is made from rosewood, and the Wendur and Valiant are made from blends of teak.

These beautifully handcrafted decorative ships are the perfect appointment for the home, business or office. They accent fine furniture perfectly.

This process replicates the actual manner of how ships were built at the time, resulting in a realistic and faithful replica of the original ship. >

The America Replica Ship - 1851 (Collector Line)

America - During the early part of the 19th century the British had established a reputation for ocean yacht racing. Looking to stem that tide, The New York Yacht club engaged George Steers to design the fastest ocean yacht vessel. She was delivered in May, 1851, and was beautifully proportioned. At 171 tons, she was 89 feet long at the waterline, 22 foot abeam, and possessed an 11 foot draft. She was aptly named America. After reaching England, she was invited to participate against fifteen yachts in the annual 53 mile race around the Isle of Wight conducted by The Royal Yacht Squadron. America won her first race by 2 minutes. Next she sailed in a match race against England�s fastest, the Titania,winning by nearly an hour. She was awarded a cup, which was aptly named the America�s Cup.

Our Collector quality ship replicas are built from exact scale and are built from the blueprints of the historic ships they replicate. Our Collector quality ships are generally smaller in scale than the Museum Quality but still made from blue prints and more detailed than our Gift models.
