The USS Constitution is a frigate of the United States Navy. She is the oldest still seaworthy ship in the world and the second-oldest still in service overall. The nickname “Old Ironsides” dates back to the battle with the British frigate HMS Guerriere in 1812, because shots from that ship are said to have bounced off the Constitution’s strong sides.
Several victories by the Constitution against British warships in 1812 established the frigate’s great national significance for the United States.
After extensive repairs between 2007 and 2010, the USS Constitution now serves as a state ship for receptions and official occasions. Her crew consists of active-duty naval personnel.

The ship model shown is a scale replica of the USS Constitution.
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.
