Product Description
Here we have a wonderfully detailed wooden model ship kit by Corel: the "H.M.S Endeavour" This was the first exploration vessel of which we have reasonably accurate data today. When the Endeavour set sail from Plymouth on August 26th, 1768 under the command of the famous captain James Cook, there were 94 people aboard, including officers, scientists, crew and men-servants. Before its purchase by the British Navy, the Endeavour had carried coal from England to Scandinavia under the name Earl of Pembroke. The Admiralty refitted out the ship for scientific exploration: the masts were replaced, the hull was relined and a large number of guns were installed. This kit is a double plank-on-bulkhead construction with pre-cut frames and keel. Poplar, walnut, basswood, Tanganyika, mahogany, maple and beech are used throughout. This kit consist of brass and hardwood fittings, rigging, silk-screened flags, and a premium display cradle. At Ages of Sail, our model ship kits are always of the highest quality available, with laser-cut parts and ornamentation made from the finest materials for an authentic look. This brand new kit comes with detailed English instructions, though the "H.M.S Endeavour" is best for intermediate to advanced builders! Scale: 1:50 Length: 29.5 inches Height 25.5 inches
