The world’s second largest sailing ship, Chile’s Esmeralda, 353 feet long with a mast height of 165 feet was launched in 1952. The four mast barkentine is capable of 12 knots under engine power. The pride of the Chilean Navy, Esmeralda was built in Cadiz, Spain from plans used to build Spain’s Juan Sebastian De Elcano. The current Esmeralda, Chile’s floating ambassador, is the sixth Esmeralda. The second Esmeralda was the one led by famous Chilean Naval hero Arturo Prat during its last battle before sinking in 1879. Esmeralda has participated in Opsail 1964, 1976, 1986, and 2000.
Our unique Esmeralda Painted model is 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.
The ship is painted two-tone black and white. On the ship, you will spot many amazing details, including wooden bowsprit, foremast, mainmast, and mizzen mast. They are all connected to numerous fabric sails with detailed stitching, all rigging are painstakingly fastened by hand in matching colors. On the main deck, you'll find a two story deck with open windows, wooden ladders, wooden buckets, a large wooden lantern, and wooden canoes. On the quarter deck, there are wooden cabins and a wooden bridge. On the poop deck, there’s a navigational area with metal steering wheels along with wooden buckets. The beakdeck, quarter deck, and poop deck are surrounded with metal fences. You can easily spot two rows of crafted open circle on each side of the hull, and wooden anchors hanging just above the waterline.
