Description:

The "Three Hierarchs" model is a stunning recreation of a classic tall ship, intricately designed and crafted to capture the grandeur and spirit of maritime history. This model, at 32.3 inches (60cm) in length, serves as a magnificent representation of naval engineering and artistic craftsmanship.

Constructed primarily from red cedar, renowned for its durability and resistance to decay and termites, this model is built to withstand the test of time, even under the harsh weather conditions.. The cedar's natural properties prevent it from warping or cracking, ensuring that the model retains its pristine condition. Additional materials such as mahogany, teak, and various exotic woods contribute to the robustness and visual depth of the ship.

The hull is painted in a sophisticated combination of natural wood tones and striking navy blue, with four layers of high-quality paint that enhance its visual appeal while protecting against fading and wood pests. The sails are crafted from linen, providing a realistic texture and appearance. Flags made from fabric flutter gracefully atop the masts, complementing the ship's aesthetic with historical accuracy.

The "Three Hierarchs Painted" model features detailed metal trimmings and a corrosion-resistant metal nameplate that highlight its exquisite craftsmanship. The ship is equipped with multiple masts and a complex network of rigging that demonstrates the shipbuilders' attention to detail and dedication to replicating the original vessel's functionality.

Ideal for display in a living room, dining room, or as a central piece in a nautical collection, this model is not only a decorative item but also a potential heirloom that can be cherished for generations. It makes an excellent gift for enthusiasts of maritime history, model collectors, or anyone who appreciates the artistry of ship modeling. This model combines historical significance with impeccable craftsmanship, making it a standout addition to any interior decor.

History:

The motorship Three Hierarchs has a notable history that was largely mysterious until its rediscovery. Originally sailing under the name "Pinios", this Greek ship was involved in a tragic incident.

On February 14, 1959, the day after leaving Piraeus, the Three Hierarchs sank during a storm in the Aegean Sea, carrying 378 tons of corn-maize and three military trucks. The vessel encountered severe weather conditions with winds approaching 8 Beaufort and sank so rapidly that it couldn't send an SOS signal. The wreckage and some debris, including a drifting boat and parts of the military trucks, were later found near Punta Zeza and the rocky islet of Agios Georgios.
