SERGAL-MANTUA #787 SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS 1/78 SCALE EQ

Description

Ship history
The ship's name was changed twice- first in the year 1650 to "Sovereign" and then to "Royal Sovereign" in 1660.
It was built by Peter Pett (later a Commissioner of the Navy), under the guidance of his father Phineas, the King's master shipwright, and was launched at Woolwich dockyard on October 13, 1637. As the second three-decked first-rate (the first three-decker being Prince Royal of 1610), she was the predecessor of Nelson's Victory, although Revenge, built in 1577 by Mathew Baker, was the inspiration providing the innovation of a single deck devoted entirely to broadside guns.

wooden model kit. Item shows wear and tear from being in storage. Always examine photos before bidding and do your own research as to what it entails to build this certain kit.
Perfect hobby for collectors and seasoned modelers; wooden kit modeling is a hobby that requires patience, time and skills. The end product is always unique and a representation of the builder's dedication and expertise as no two finished models are alike but allows for a wide range of customization depending on the tools and techniques used by the builder. Excellent hobby for anyone interested in naval and aerospace history.
