Kate Cory 32" Limited

• Overall Dimensions: 32" long x 9" Wide x 26" High
• Our Kate Cory model replica requires hundreds of hours to build from scratch (not from a model kit) by our master artisans.
• Built with rare, high quality woods such as ebony, rosewood, blackwood, mahogany, jackwood, and sycamore
• This scale model ship is painted exactly like the actual Kate Cory. Our tall ship models are micro-sanded many times to ensure maximum update for paint and varnish. Every time the model is micro-sanded, a layer of primer, paint, and varnish is applied. This time-consuming re-application and layering process is what gives our model ship replicas their realistic sheen.
• Our boat models are fully assembled, never from a kit. They are created by our master artisans from scratch.
• Look at the amazing details: real copper plated hull, planked deck, wood deck houses, taught rigging, metal chains, masterfully stitched thick white sails, the name “Kate Cory of Westport” painted on the stern of the ship with eagle above, barrels
• This Kate Cory model ship rests perfectly on a large wooden base.
• To build this ship model, extensive research was done using various sources such as museums, drawings, copies of original plans and photos of the actual ship.

Originally rigged as a schooner, Kate Cory was converted to a brig in 1858. This rig made for steadier motion in heavy seas and while cutting in whales.

After only five voyages, she was captured by the CSS Alabama and burned off the coast of Brazil in 1863.
