The ships of the Honourable
East India Company of Britain
An East Indiaman was a
ship operating under charter or license of the East India Companies of the major
European trading powers in the 17th to 19th century. The ships carried strong
armament and were designed and painted to resemble a ship of war. An attacker
could not be sure whether gunports were real or mere dummies. In the
battle of Pulo Aula
in 1804 an English merchant ships convoy even succeeded in scaring off a
flotilla of French Navy ships.
The East Indiaman model,
photos, description and dimensions
The ship
model was built without sails to allow for a better view on the very detailed,
impressive rigging. Please take your time to have a good look at
the set of photos. There are
several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions and several
closer views of hull, deck
and rigging. If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high
resolution. Only these high resolution photographs show how much work and
handicraft ability were put in the model.
Viewing the high resolution photos: If you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a
larger screen with the photos. The high resolution photos are about 12
megapixel. So they are about 10 - 20 times larger than your 0.5 - 1.3
megapixel computer
screen. Most browsers by default downsize the pictures to screen
size, so you cannot see all the details of the ship models. To see the original
resolution move the mouse over the pictures and click on the magnifying
lens.
This model
of the East Indiaman is a very beautiful work, a true masterpiece, especially in detailing the
rigging. It was built in the 1970s and has been restored with love and great care. The
ship model is 1 : 60 scale.
Length is 92 cm, width 39 cm,
height 85 cm.
The ship can be taken out of the stand, i.e. for transport.
Price of the ship model
and transport
The price of
the model is 4500 Euro, plus transport cost.
Shipping the East Indiaman in a crate by some
package delivery company can be done. Picking up the ship with your car may be a good way, too.
The ship model is available at my home in Recklinghausen. Please contact me, if you are interested
in the ship model.
