History of model:

The "Mattea" or as it became known in English history, the "Matthew", was purpose built for John Cabots 1497 voyage to the New World. Where he landed along the shores of eastern North America is still open to debate. The model is based on a re-construction built in Bristol, England to celebrate the 500th anniversary of this voyage. Colin Mudie designed the re-construction. The model has received various "historic touches" not present on the re-construction due to various maritime regulations. Next to the better known "Santa Maria" the "Matthew" is the next most important vessel with regards to the early exploration of North America.

The model is for sale at the price of $10,300.00 US. Packaging, shipping and Insurance will depend on destination and will be quoted separately.
