Columbia 1958 Half Hull Model Ship

Columbia 1958 Half Hull Model Ship - The Art of making half hulls is as old as ship building itself. Half Hulls were crafted by ship builders to give three-dimensional shape to their hull designs.

Crafted in mahogany and tropical hard woods, the hulls are assembled one at a time, using traditional plank-on-bulkhead modelling techniques.

After the bulkheads are laid and the hull lines trued, the hulls are planked with individual wooden stripes to form a smooth silhouette. The model is then sanded, hand painted and varnished to a mirror-like finish.

They are then mounted on ready to hang wooden plaque, each is complete with an engraved brass nameplate. Exquisite gift for any sea lover. Their lines are exceptionally beautiful. Striking addition to any marine collection. Packaging is extemely secure to allow for a safe passage.
