AFRIC STAR
Blue Star Line Cargo ship

Afric Star of Blue Star line fleet was built in Middlesbrough, England by the Smith's Dock Company Ltd.  Construction of the ship completed in 1975.  She measured 155.81' long' and was powered by a 9-cylinder B&W diesel engine that could propel the ship up to 24 knots.  Afric Star was an "A"-Class fully refrigerated five hatch cargo ship, fitted with banana doors.

This primarily wood Afric Star model features:

- Plank-on-frame hull. This construction method gives accurate hulls, as artisans create the frame of the hull exactly like in drawings. The solid hull method, on the other hand, employs most guesswork on the degree of curvature.

- Windows are cutouts (not black decals or indentation) which are clean, uniform, and aligned. We are not shy to show the model in large photos. Nothing to hide!
