Ship - the general term for any type of large buoyant vessel in which people travel or transport goods over the surface of the water.
But to us, they are much more then that.
Ships are a part of your history. Model Ships Online would like to provide you with a lasting piece of that history.
With more then two-thirds of the world covered with water, it is not surprising how important sailing ships have become. Early societies used wooden rafts, skin- or bark-covered canoes for water travel. Egyptian ships employed a wood framework covered with wood planking. Phoenician round ships traveled the Mediterranean and beyond. The ancient Greeks and Romans used galleys and warships to sail across their known world. And nothing is as symbolic of the Vikings as the Drakkar longship or Dragon Ship. These Viking ships carried fearless warriors on raids across Europe. |
The typical European warship of the 16th and 17th centuries was the so-called Great Ship, with four or five masts, high forecastle and poop decks, and two or more tiers of guns. These massive Tall Ships, often called Man-of-wars, once dominated the seas and engaged in fierce naval battles, such as the HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, to such historic ships as the USS Constitution, nicknamed “Old Ironsides”, which sailed into history, and now rests at port in Charlestown, Massachusetts, as part of a National Museum.
Clipper Ships, such as the British Cutty Sark, carried a major portion of the ocean freight of the world until the 1900’s. No one can forget the RMS Titanic. With her final voyage, she became one of the most widely known cruise ships in history, and has even become the subject of award winning movies. | From Spanish galleons, Viking ships, and cruise ships, to the Endeavour Yacht that competes in the America’s Cup races.
Here you will find wonderfully handcrafted model ships from various time periods of world history.
All model ships are fully finished and ready for display and are masterfully constructed by expert craftsmen, in some cases taking hundreds of hours to build a complete model.
A new model ship or boat is the perfect nautical gift for any sailing or model enthusiast.
We are confident that your newly handcrafted wooden model ship will add class and elegance to the surroundings in your home or office.

Dear Mr. Wood:
DHL delivered my order, which arrived not only undamaged, but in record time, just before noon today. -- I am dropping you this line to tell you that I am absolutely delighted with every aspect of my Viking Ship Drakkar! It is not only everything you assured me in your e-mail of last week it would be, but more! The quality of the workmanship and wood (which I was pleasantly surprised to perceive is fragrant cedar), the intricate detail and vibrant color, and the exquisite beauty of the model far exceeded my expectations!
Thank you!
Dr. Russell W. Godwin
