Whale Boat Model Kit – Amati (1440)

Description

About the Whale Boat

A Whale Boat was typically used in New Bedford, particularly in the 1800’s. They were clinker-built, sturdy and light, allowing for perfect hunting and navigation trips. Usually carrying a crew of six, a whale boat could be dragged along by a harpooned whale for days before the whale tired. This meant the boat had to be well stocked for the crew, taking the return journey to the mother ship into account also.

About the manufacturer

Established in 1879, Amati’s roots can be found in the cultural city of Turin, Northern Italy. The company went on to create a new line of naval models, which is known as their speciality. Catering to all tastes, they are known for their precision and dedication to the quality of their craft. With that in mind, you can be sure this model kit will be up to a standard approved by the most expert of model makers!
