Measurements overall - 26" (L) x 9" (W) x 20" (H) NICE LARGE TEAK WOOD BASE The ships are built from scratch. They are not pre-fabricated kits that someone puts together. All handcrafted from real wood taking many hours of tedious labor. Individual hull planks bent and shaped, wood is then placed piece by piece form the hull and deck. If you look closely, you can see the nails used to secure the strips of wood to the internal ribs. This attention to detail alone sets us apart from competitors. Some Admiral's Line ships utilize double plank on frame construction. Wood is cut piece by piece and put over the base of the ship's hull to the water line. It's a lot of work and creates a fantastic look. Incredible quality & detail, one of the owner's favorites! The rigging, stitching and attention to detail on each ship is outstanding. The ship is made from fine quality wood such as teak, mahogany, oak, rosewood and ash. 100% money back guarantee!
