The Sovereign of the Seas was launched in October 1637 at Woolwich under King Charles I of England as the world’s first 100-gun warship. The largest and heaviest ship in history up to that point was also the first ship with three continuous flush decks. It was designed by shipbuilder Phineas Pett, who had already built the Prince Royal with 55 cannons, the largest ship up to that time, for James I of England in 1610.
Charles I had to introduce a new, unpopular ship tax to finance the new vessel. During conversion work in 1697, a fire broke out that completely destroyed the Sovereign. Parts of the remains were later used to build the “Royal Sovereign”.

The ship model shown is a true-to-scale replica of the Sovereign Of The Seas.
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.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. The satisfaction of our customers is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
