History:

The U.S.S. Constitution, a three-mast frigate, is the world’s oldest commissioned warship. Built primarily with dense southern live oak, its hull was 21 inches thick in an era when 18 inches was common. Paul Revere forged the copper spikes and bolts that held the planks in place. The 204-foot-long ship was first put to sea in 1798 and its most famous era of naval warfare was the War of 1812 against Britain, when it captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five warships, including the H.M.S. Guerriere. It was during the ferocious battle with the Guerriere that British seamen, astonished at how their cannonballs were bouncing off the Constitution’s hull, cried out, "Sir, Her sides are made from Iron!" Hence, the nickname, "Old Ironsides." The Constitution today is a national landmark and is currently docked in Boston.

Comment: Beautiful ship but they really could pack it better for that price. Wrapping in styrofoam that is disintegrated by the time you get it. Next thing you know you are having a really hard time cleaning the styrofoam out of the ship before displaying. Maybe try packing popcorn or bubble wrap.

Comment: Over all, it is well built. The shipping container was well made to fully protect the ship. I bought the smallest version to fit on our coffee table. It looks very nice. One would not expect to get as much detail on this size, as on the larger models. However, I would think they could have included the Jib sails over the bow, and the Helm. I was very surprised to find the Helm was not included in the details. They really need to redo their certificate of authenticity/Details about the ship document. It was a small half-page document that was so faded it was almost unreadable. For the amount of effort they put into building these models, they really should produce a high quality frameable (8x10) document with more historical details about the ship. I created my own version of the certificate, including an image of the ship, and added many more historical details about the ship, which I found online, and have it hanging on the wall in my Living Room. I threw away their original certificate.

Comment: OMH does it again! I personally own several of their ship models, from the sailing yacht Endeavor, Atlantic, and America. They are such fine models and OMH never misses on details, in any size model. This ship is the center piece of our Tall Ship theme living room. It arrived secure in its wooden crate with no damage. It's good to still find quality items these days.

Comment: I debated on buying this ship for a while because there was only one small picture with little detail. I finally pulled the trigger and I am glad I did! So first off, I'll help with the pictures (seller, fell free to use them on your page). The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box is that it was nicely packed in it's own create. I was wondering how it could be shipped without damage. Once I got it out and did a little dusting off I immediately noticed how nice this thing was. It is full of small details and the finish looked to be furniture grade. The sails were cloth and looked very natural. It also came with some documents including a certificate of authenticity and a small tube of glue, just in case. I don't think you will get a better looking and ship with this quality for the price.
