Assembled Admiral's Line Mayflower
On August 15, 1620, the Mayflower, a British cargo ship, Captained by Christopher Jones set sail from Plymouth, England. She set sail with a Pilgrim colony of 102 people aboard. The Mayflower was 95 feet in length and displaced 180 tons. Her voyage across the Atlantic took 67 days and 3000 miles of stormy ocean at an average speed of 2 knots. Due to primitive navigation techniques, Mayflower landed in Cape Cod, missing their intended destination. After exploring the coast of New England the Pilgrims settle in Plymouth, for their new home. That winter the Pilgrims lived aboard the Mayflower while building their colony. On April 5, 1621 Mayflower sailed back to England, but not a single member of the colony went with her.
These ships are 100% scratch built, put together piece by piece, similar to an actual ship. There are no model kits used here. The wood is cut from trees. All ships are Plank on Frame construction (hollow hulls). Ribs on the inside, 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. 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 a fantastic look. The lines on the ships are working lines. They can be tightened and loosened. The Admiral's line ship's sails can be furled or unfurled by tracing each working line, though this is not recommended unless you are an avid model builder. Appreciate the rigging, the stitching on the sails, and the fantastic craftsmanship. Each ship comes with a solid wooden stand and a brass nameplate. Every ship comes with her history printed on antiqued paper along with a stand to display beside the ship. The ships are imported from all over the world from master craftsman who specialize in model boat building.
