The original Lady Washington was a 90-ton merchant sloop that participated in the fur and pelt trade with the coastal Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, as well as tea and porcelain trade across the Pacific in China. She was the first American vessel to sail around Cape Horn, and the first American vessel to reach 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. Today, a replica of Lady Washington was built for the 1989 Washington State Centennial celebrations and sails along the Pacific Coast, providing tours to educate students of the lifestyle and history of merchant trading.
The Lady Washington is now available as a FULLY ASSEMBLED model. Master craftsmen use historical photographs, drawings or original plans meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method, similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.
This model features two decks.The front bowsprit and two large masts are connected securely using advanced rigging and lines painstakingly knotted and fastened by hand. Each yard has attached, hand-stitched, unfurled sails made of fine linen. For added authentic appeal, metal anchors and a wooden rudder with metal propeller are visible on the front and rear of the ship. On the deck, there are hand-built lifeboats with ribs and planks, wooden cabin, wooden crane and many other spectacular ornaments.
This model comes standard with a solid wood base and brass nameplate. For a more personalized gift or display, consider adding on a fully customized nameplate plaque with your choice of text and/or logo. This product will make a stunning and unique gift for any home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or passionate collector.
