Sovereign of the Seas
Price range: CHF661.88 through CHF2,839.72
The Sovereign of the Seas was launched in Woolwich in October 1637 under King Charles I of England as the world’s first 100-gun warship. The largest and heaviest ship in history up to that time was also the first ship with three continuous decks. It was designed by shipbuilder Phineas Pett, who had already built the Prince Royal, the largest ship up to that time with 55 cannons, for James I of England in 1610.
Charles I had to introduce a new, unpopular ship tax to finance the new ship. 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 scale replica of the Sovereign of the Seas.
This model was made 100% by hand and with precision using traditional plank-on-frame construction with hull planking.
Among other things, exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model as the finished product.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and painted where intended. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorations (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 strong cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be retensioned at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
