measures: 35"L x 27"T x 7"W
The three masted Xebec with its lateen sails was used for centuries in the
Mediteranean as a merchant ship because of its speed and shallow draught. It
was not long before Corsairs, the pirates of the Mediteranean, decided on the
Xebec as their vessel of choice for lighting fast attacks on heavier ladened
merchant ships.
With its fourteen cannons slug low in the waists, the Xebec would hole her
prey just inchs above the waterline making escape impossible. Six culverins
were mounted along the poop deck for close action or just in case the crew tried
to mutiny. Oars were used when the wind failed giving the Xebec the upper hand
in attacking other vessels or fleeing the authorities.
The xebec under sail was a beautiful sight, and it is said that the design
was one of the fastest and most agile in the Mediterranean. Some of the same
qualities that made it so successful in light seas also made it unsuitable for
rough weather. The low freeboard and the shallow draught made the vessel vulnerable
to swamping, and it would roll heavily on anything more than moderate waves.

"Dear Melissa,
I received the US Constitution in perfect condition!
I have been working a solid hour carefully
removing her from the crating. I can honestly say,
I am now an expert in performing this tedious task.
I want to thank you and your company for meeting
and surpassing my expectations not only in the
quality of the model ship but in the Great Customer
Service provided to insure my complete satisfaction.
In this day an age this is a hell of an accomplishment.
Best regards,
Tom Quartararo"
"Aloha,
Just wanted you to know I got the ship last week....
in perfect condition I may add, and it now graces my
living room - a reminder of my trip to see the REAL
Wasa in Stockholm last summer. Thank you very much!
