Ship model British cutter SHARKEHistorical background of the shipThe British cutter SHARKE was built in 1711 at the Deptford dockyards on the Thames River. She was designed for speed. With her large sail area and because of her shallow draught and minimal tonnage she could follow smugglers anywhere, even up shallow rivers and over dangerous shoals. With her ten pounder cannons she could easily fight any small boat. The ship model, photos, description and dimensionsThe model is a somewhat smaller decoration object compared with the other ship models, well suitably as maritime symbol under spatially more restrained conditions. The extensive sails clearly make for the impression of speed and mobility. Please take your time to have a good look at the set of photos. There are several views of the entire model and of details (13 photos with 490 kB in total). 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. (If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a larger screen with the photos.) The very finely worked model of the cutter is 1 : 50 scale. Length is 84 cm, width 27 cm, height 61 cm. This model has been already sold. The pictures and the data are shown in the gallery of the ship models sold only to let enthusiasts and model makers enjoy the photos and maybe get ideas or some guidance, if someone builds such a model by himself. |
