NEW BEDFORD WHALE BOAT 1/33 SCALE 10”
New Bedford boat builders were responsible for developing a nearly perfect design for a light, seaworthy, capacious boat to be used in the open ocean for the dangerous business of whaling. After the sinking of the whaleship ESSEX, some of her crew survived for 3 months, traveling several thousand miles, in whaleboats. Melville’s “Moby Dick” provides us with one of the best descriptions of these famous vessels. Although diminutive in size, this kit provides an expert modeler with one of the most intricate and delicate small-scale models available. There is some shaping of printed wood necessary.
