JS Elcano:
Launched in 1927, the 4-masted schooner J.S. Elcano served as a training ship for Spanish cadets, with a crew of 36 officers, 143 sailor trainees and 70 Marines. With her sails adjusted, she was capable of reaching a top speed of 15 knots, and in 1964 she participated in the great 3600-mile race from Lisbon to Hamilton.
I constructed this 1/110 scale model of the J.S. Elcano in 1999.
USCG Barque Eagle:
This magnificent ship was built as a training vessel for the German Navy in 1936, and was awarded to the United States as reparations following World War II. On May 15, 1946, she was commissioned into the US Coast Guard service as Eagle and sailed from Bremerhaven, Germany to New London.
I constructed this 1/185 scale static display model in 2002.
HMS Bounty:
This was one of the first models I did as an adult. It was my first display case construction.
US Coast Guard Cutter 44329:
This 1:40 scale model of a coast guard cutter was built in 1994.
Nantucket Lightship
For 39 years, Nantucket Lightship / LV-112 guided transoceanic shipping to and from U.S. east coast ports, through some of the most treacherous shipping lanes in the world. She was the first symbol of America encountered by thousands of immigrants. Many famous vessels such as the SS United States, the Queen Mary, Normandie and naval cargo vessels depended on her as a navigational aid.
I built his 1/95 scale model in 2017
