Brig Lady Washington Model Tall Pirate Ship 25" Boat

This high quality, highly detailed, expert level, Lady Washington model is Brand New, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).

The Lady Washington replica was made famous when Jack Sparrow hijacked her in the 1st "Pirates Of The Caribbean" Disney film! It was the only complete sailing pirate ship used in the film. The others, including the pirate ship Black Pearl, were temporary sets.

This Lady Washington Tall Ship Model was specially designed & built by the plank on frame method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other exotic tropical wood together on the hull). The brig model is built exactly to scale as the original Lady Washington was with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.

The Lady Washington was built in 1750 on the Essex River in Massachusetts, rigged originally as a sloop, later as a brigantine but has also been described as a brig or snow and there are serious disagreements and heated discussions among many historians.

The Lady Washington was a 90-ton merchant sloop. She sailed around Cape Horn and participated in the fur and pelt trade with the coastal Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest and in tea and porcelain across the Pacific in China. She was captained originally by Robert Gray, and later by John Kendrick, former captain of her larger sailing partner, the Columbia Rediviva (Kendrick insisted he and Gray switch vessels mid-journey). Under the command of Kendrick, she was refitted as a brig (she was formerly a sloop).

She became the first American vessel to reach the island of Japan in an unsuccessful attempt to move some unsold pelts. The Lady remained in the Pacific trade and eventually foundered in the Philippines in 1798.

 The model measures 25" long from bow to stern (not including the bow sprit). It's a fabulous boat model that will be a conversation piece for any room or office.
