THE MODEL SHIP IS 30" long The model ship is uniquely identified by a serial number, which is laser cut to the hull of each model. With this number, we will be able to identify the date of a model, the material that we used on the model, the craftsmen who worked on each area of the model, the individual who inspected the model and also the professional packaging staff, who finally packed the model into shipping box. We put quality as a priority, thus we thoroughly supervise all steps of the ship building from beginning to end. The last photo shows a sample of what the serial number will look like. 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 King of England wanted a combination of strength and beauty, and he got it. The 1141-ton Sovereign of the Seas was launched on October 13, 1637. 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. THIS IS NOT A TOY, PLEASE KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. "Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.

ADDITIONAL NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: It can six weeks for the model ship to arrive by sea, air freight is quicker. I can't control how customs operates and you will probably be required to go and pick up the ship from your shipper's location to pay customs and any import taxes that need to be collected.
