    Description

    BRIEF HISTORY During the early 19th century, many Baltimore clippers were granted privateering licenses by the US government. Since all commerce was subject to the legalized banditry of privateers, only a fast, well handled ship could be reasonably sure of reaching its destination. Privateers like the Dapper Tom depended on their sailing abilities and fire power to prey on foreign shipping and to escape the British men-of-war patrolling the high seas. KIT FEATURES Historically accurate and perfectly scaled Machine carved basswood hull reduces building time Eight cast metal cannon replicate the original 9-pounders True-to-scale wood, brass and Britannia metal fittings Detailed plans and clear assembly instructions Previous modeling experience helpful but not necessary. Solid hull construction is much easier than plank-on-bulkhead.   MODEL SPECIFICATIONS Length: 24" Hull Width: 3-7/8" Height: 18" Scale: 5/32" = 1 ft. (1:76)
