Albatros Wood Ship Model Kit

Built at the Baltimore shipyards in 1840, the Albatros was designed to defend our Atlantic coast. Her smooth, narrow hull and large sail area made her fast and easily maneuverable.

Double plank-on-bulkhead kit by OcCre features laser-cut wooden parts. Accurately detailed fittings include boxwood blocks and deadeyes, brass eyebolts, rings and belaying pins, white metal winch and lifeboat, three diameters of rigging line and more. Eight antiqued metal cannons serve as armament. A full complement of sails is pre-sewn and ready to rig. Wooden display cradle and a metal nameplate included.
