The Fram is a ship completed in 1892 that Norwegian polar explorers used between 1893 and 1912. The Fram was built to be able to drift in pack ice without being damaged by the enormous pressure of the ice. At the same time, the ship was so well insulated that it can be described as the first zero-energy ship.
The initiative for its construction came from Fridtjof Nansen; in 1890 he commissioned Colin Archer, the renowned Norwegian ship designer from Larvik, to build the Fram. No wooden ship ever sailed—neither in the south nor in the north—at higher latitudes than the Fram.

The ship model shown is a true-to-scale replica of the Fram.
This model was made 100% by hand with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and, where intended, varnished. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorative details (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood and the rigging of solid cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be re-tensioned at any time.
