HMS Victory Copper Clad Bottom Wood Tall Ship Model 38"

This beautifully handcrafted, expert level, highly detailed, museum quality, HMS Victory tall ship model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).

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

The HMS Victory model has a real copper clad hull bottom. The bottom of the model has been covered with strips of copper and then encapsulated in fiberglass, so the copper should stay in perfect condition.

The H.M.S. VICTORY was launched on 7th May 1765. The Victory's fame was due to the fact that as dawn drew near on October 21, 1805, under the British flag, she took part in the momentous Battle of Trafalgar (where Horatio Nelson flew his famous signal "England expects that every man will do his duty") against Spain and completely defeated the Franco-Spanish fleet with her powerful cannons that can fire half a ton of iron shot more than a mile.

She now rest at Portsmouth, England. The HMS Victory is the oldest ship in the Royal Navy and is still a commissioned ship. You can take a tour of the ship at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
