Ship model frigate SERAPIS

The British frigate HMS SERAPIS became famous when she was taken away from the British by the American USS BONHOMME RICHARD under the command of Paul Jones. Paul Jones, one of the founders of the US navy, took her as a prize after a 4-hours-fight in the North Sea in 1779.

The ship model's stand is made of ebony  that I brought home from a vacation in Bali. Please take your time to have a good look at the set of photos. There are several pictures of the model. 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 Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a larger screen with the photos.)

The ship model is 1 : 60 scale. Length is 96 cm, width 43 cm, height 83 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.

This ship model is one of the eight ship models we delivered to the  Morada Seaside Resort at Kuehlungsborn near Rostock on the Baltic coast. It is a beautiful hotel directly at the Baltic Sea beach, and our models are on display in the passage to the restaurant.
