The Queen Mary from Everything Nautical is made for the royal in you! The Queen Mary is considered by many as the pinnacle of British passenger ship building. The thousand-foot passenger ship was built to trump its French rival to the crown of luxury, the Normandie. One of the most appealing characteristics of the Queen Mary was her great speed. Coupled with great luxury and comfort, this factor earned amazing profits for her owners until the outbreak of the Second World War, which found her in a New York Harbor. After being idle for half a year, the Queen Mary re-entered service as a troopship, traveling unescorted from New York to Sydney. With its speed and finesse along the waters, the Queen Mary bested any warship afloat and adopted the nickname "The Gray Ghost".
Reminisce the artistic and industrial genius of the past with this exclusive edition model of the third largest passenger ship ever to set sail in the North Atlantic seaway. Master craftsmen handcraft this exquisitely detailed model from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plans. It is built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. To add to its authentic charm, the model is painted in red, black, and white to represent the original colors. Take a closer look and you will see realistic wooden life boats on both side of the main deck. All ladders, stanchions and rails are made of metal, while the winches, life boats and hatches are meticulously handcrafted from wood. This model also comes standard with a solid wood base and brass nameplate, making it an ideal accent piece for your home or office. Display it with P016 Mid Display Case for Cruise Liner or P019 Large Display Case for Cruise Liner to make an even greater impression.
