Ship model German wheel steamer NAUTILUS of 1870

Ship model German wheel steamer NAUTILUS of 1870

Scale 1 : 60, length 113 cm, width 30 cm, height 72 cm,
Price 3200 Euro, plus transport cost 

The wheel steamer NAUTILUS was built in 1870 for the Imperial German Navy. In the book of Wittmer, "Deutschlands Taten zur See", Verlag Hermann Montanus, Siegen 1915, the page 68 shows a photo of the NAUTILUS commenting: Old gunboat "Nautilus", 716 (metric) tons, 99 heads, 9 knots (see below, photo middle part, left).

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. (If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a larger screen with the photos.)

The beautiful, finely worked, elegant model of the wheel steamer is made of wood and metal. It is 1 : 60 scale. Length is 113 cm, width 30 cm, height 72 cm.

The price of the model is 3200 Euro, plus transport cost.

Shipping the wheel steamer 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.
