SS LURLINE model
 

SS Lurline was the last of the four American-built Matson "White Fleet" liners designed by William Francis Gibbs. She was christened on 12 July 1932 in Quincy, Massachusetts. On 12 January 1933, SS Lurline left New York City bound for San Francisco via the Panama Canal on her maiden voyage, thence to Sydney and the South Seas, returning to San Francisco on 24 April 1933. She then served on the express San Francisco to Honolulu service with her sister "White Fleet" ship Malolo.

Lurline was legendary on the Hawaii run, offering warm hospitality and pleasant diversions on five day express crossings from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Honolulu. The time spent onboard was as much a part of a Hawaiian holiday.  She was the last of four fast and luxurious ocean liners that Matson built for the Hawaii and Australasia runs from the West Coast of the United States.  

SS Lurline was launched on July 18 1932. She served as a troopship in World War II. In 1963, the famous Lurline became Chandris Lines' RHMS Ellinis.
 

We at ModelShipMaster.com build accurate and fine ocean liner models for your beautiful home and prestigious office. From hull shape to funnel and deck details, we are the only one. Click here to learn more: premium quality ships.

This primarily wood SS Lurline ocean liner model features:

- Plank-on-frame, hollow hull (very important). 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.

- Hollow superstructure is comprised of many individual thin pieces of wood glued together, not several solid pieces of wood stacking on top one another.

- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decals), uniform, and on straight lines.  We are not shy to show the model in large photos. Nothing to hide!

- Full set of lifeboats is included. We left some out of the pictures so that you can see the beautiful davits.

36" L x 13.5" T x 7" W  (including base's dimensions) $3,790 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $400 flat rate.

24" long  $2,990 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $300 flat rate.

Lighting feature is included. A ship is not an ocean liner without beautiful lighting. LED light powered by standard 9v battery for your convenience. Our model has realistic and beautiful lighting, including navigation light. Cheap model makers neither care nor able to keep up with our artistry and and engineering ability.
