Model Submarines
Our newest addition is a collection of submarines. Available now are two of the first ships ever to operatate below the surface of the water. While neither the Monitor or Virginia completely submerged beneath the water, their goal was to make a difficult target for the cannons from the tall ships of the day and to get in close to deliver their deadly cargo.
Model Submarine USS Monitor Both the Monitor and Virginia pictured above. The Monitor is the smaller of the two and features the U.S. Flag. Each is sold separately This line of model ships is made by highly skilled craftsmen who work with remarkable precision using only the finest materials. These craftsmen have been trained for years to become Master Artisans. Hundreds of hours go into making each model, from the original lofting of plans to the finishing touches. Hull construction is either hand laid-up resin or plank on bulkhead with a selection of precious wood. Deck details are reproduced with custom-made brass and chromed brass castings. Hand sanded hulls are finished with marine varnishes and polyurethane paint.
