Roter Lowe
Elector of Brandenburg Galleon
Sc. 1:55 L. 720 mm. H. 540 mm.
IThe galleon Roter Löwe was built in the Netherlands in the
1597 and was bought in 1601 by the Council of Königsberg on
account of the Elector of Brandenburg. It was in service as
a vedette-boat n Pillau from 1602 to 1605 under captain
Peter Hintze’s command. The sizes of the Roter Löwe are
unknown, however, on the ground of the tonnage of 240tons
and the construction methods at that time, it was possible
to reconstruct a ship having a length of 28 metres from prow
to stern and a width of about 8 metres. Equipment: 12 iron
guns on the lower deck - 4 guns to launch stone balls on the
deck and 2 other for the retreat - 4 culverins. Crew:
estimated at 30 hands.

HMS Beagle
Darwin’s Brig
(Sc. 1:64 L. 645 mm. H. 478 mm.)
H.M.S. Beagle was built around 1817. Class: barque. Length:
approx. 28 m. Equipped: 8 guns (before the transformation).
Used at first as coasting vessel, it was subsequently
equipped for scientific observation which led it across the
Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans to the most distant lands. A
mizzen-mast was added, so that the ship could be more easily
steered along the coral-reefs of the Pacific islands, thus
transforming Beagle in a barque. Because of the peaceful
aims of the expeditions the guns were removed. 27th December
1831: Beagle sailed from Plymouth, England for a long
exploration voyage with one of the most famous scientist on
board, Charles Darwin who, through various experiences and
acute observations gathered during the voyage elaborated his
famous theory of evolution. |

top of the mast to the keel: approx. 30 m. The prints of
that name and the documents found in the historical archives

medieval merchant ship and the galleon, classifiable for its
particular structures of the forecastle and quarterdeck

important expedition, which led Fernando Cortez to conquer
Mexico. The outer galleries, one of which is a balcony, the
apartments under the small quarterdeck, the superstructures
of the decks providing the installation of awnings for
protection against the sun, clearly indicate that they were
employed for the transport of passengers of high class.
Characteristics of this ship are the escutcheons at prow,

most important and celebrated in the history of world
yachting. America under Dick Brown’s command, pilot from New
York, set out for England in June 1851 to take part in the
regatta which was to be held on the 22nd of August around
the isle of Wight, without any compensation for difference
in tonnage or rigging. The prize offered was a 100 guinea
cup. America carried off an overwhelming victory over the
English squadron. When it appeared, America presented
remarkable novelties in the form of the hull, above all
where the water lines and main section were concerned, the
latter pulled back in comparison with the hulls of that
time. Besides that it had a low draught, refined lines, a
light displacement and a new cut of sails, remarkably

The first rank vessel H.M.S. Victory, with 104 guns, was
launched at Chatham in 1765. It was in service for a long
time under the command of famous admirals. Its name was
indissolubly tied to Nelson’s in the battle of Trafalgar in
1805. It is the boast of the of the English Navy and is
still preserved at Portsmouth. The choice of the scale 1:90
in the reconstruction of such an important model offers the
twofold advantage to adopt planning solutions open even to
the less experienced modeller and to construct without
excessive difficulties a compact model. Large use has been
made of precious wood moulded according to the form
requested by the original. The molten metal port-holes allow
a perfect execution of the openings for the guns and it is
not necessary to bore the planking. No plastic or plastic

in many, more or less similar copies, in the second half of the
seventeenth century, to face the smugglers, who, incidentally,
were the first to use this type of ship (it seems that the
English shipyards built them in couples: one for the smugglers
and one for the Customs…). Of course the Hunter was used also as
coast-guard and for military functions of port survey, scout,
warning and so on. From these cutters derived, towards the end

American coasts in 1781 by the British 44-gun ship

bowsprit, several jibs, topsails and some foretopsails. It
was built by the Denys de Dunkerque and launched in 1776.
The career of this ship was short because it was captured by
the English on 17th June 1778 during a battle, reminded
