Blue Nose 1921 Half Hull Model Ship - Blue Nose was built in Nova Scotia in 1921 to fish the rough waters off the coast of Newfoundland.Throughout the 1920 and 1930 she came to international attention by winning the International Fishermen+s Race. She was lost on a reef near Haiti in 1946.

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. Their lines are exceptionally beautiful. Packaging is extemely secure to allow for a safe passage. Unique nautical gift idea. Perfect addition to any marine collection.
