PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II Baltimore Clipper Kit

 

In 1974, Baltimore city officials decided to build a replica of a 19th century clipper to serve as goodwill ambassador for the city. The ship, named Pride of Baltimore, was launched at Baltimore's Inner Harbor on February 27, 1977. She was lost in micro-squall (an intense blast of wind building to hurricane velocity within seconds) on May 14, 1986. The city then commissioned a larger sister-ship, and the Pride of Baltimore II was launched on April 30,1989. You can stroll her deck the next time you visit the inner harbor of the friendly city Baltimore Maryland.

#180-212-6 Plank on frame construction . Designed by naval architect Ben Lankford from the original plans, this kit is an accurate representation. Ease of assembly and quality of components are two of the important attributes of this model. Structural parts, such as keel and bulkheads, are fine basswood, the choice of professional model builders. All wooden parts, from keel to stern post, are laser cut for a perfect fit. Many of the Britannia metal castings have been designed specifically for this model, and include windlass life rings, vents, propellers, anchors, wheel, bilge pumps, and swivel guns. Ship's bell, port lights, eyebolts and cannon barrels are brass. 150 wooden blocks and dead eyes, and four sizes of cotton line duplicate the rig plans and 48 page illustrated instruction manual guarantee smooth sailing. You'll display your finished model on wooden launching ways, also included with the kit. (Display base is not included).
