Some Kayakers discovered a 110 year old ship off of the Ohio River. The Ship was built in 1902 for a Railroad Tycoon. It had a very colorful life, serving in WWI and WWII. The Ship was also used by Thomas Edison for Scientific research.
It spent allot of it's life as a sight seeing vessel. For 41 years it belonged to Circle Line and was named the Circle line V.

Ship Model Superstore
Special orders don't upset us! We get a lot of calls for model ships that we have on our site that may be out of stock. We don't mind special ordering one for you, if you really want the model and are willing to wait a little while we can get it built for you. The whole process can take 120-180 days but because of the quality of our ship models, they are definitely worth waiting for!
We just extended our summer wholesale pricing on the web site so all our prices are way below MSRP. Go to the site and check it out, we can't leave them this low for long so the sale will end right after fathers day. Ship Model Superstore web page
Our model ships are crafted entirely by hand, they truly do have some very unique details for something so small. There are no plastic parts, all the fittings are cast in Bronze, Chrome, Stainless Steel and real Gold plate. Some of the worlds most exotic woods are used; rosewood, cherry, teak and birch. The ship models are sanded and re sanded many times for the best uptake of the finish. The finest stains and varnishes are used for a shine that is furniture quality!
If you look at the rigging on our tall ship models, you can see how complicated the rigging is and actual seaman's knots are used, not glue like some of our competitors use. The sails are made of high quality linen and masterfully stitched for realism.
All of our models come with a commanding base and a brass nameplate with the ships name on it. Our models are crated and double boxed to protect them on their journey to you. All of our models are shipped insured so that know one has to worry about the model while it is in transit to its new home!
Check us out when you have time and if you want to discuss our fine collection you can call us toll free at 1-855-280-9590. Bob & Dee Dee will be glad to answer your calls and questions!
