Whaler WANDERER

The Wanderer is considered as one to the most beautiful, above all however, as last sailing boat to the whale hunt one used.  Between 1878 and 1924 she went 23 times on whale hunt, mainly in the area around the Azores and caught a record 24 whales. 

The Wanderer was the last vessel built in Mattapoisett and the last whaler to sail from New Bedford.   She is featured in the film Down to the Sea in Ships in which she was used for actual ocean footage while the equally famous whaling ship Charles W. Morgan only acted for some exterior scenes.

This fine Wanderer whaler model features:

34" long x 29.5" tall x 12" wide $4,960 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous US included. Other places: $500 flat rate.

26" long $3,790 Shipping and insurance in the contiguous US included. Other places: $400 flat rate.

Model is built per commission only. We require only a small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start the process. Click on this link for lead time. 

Add light feature to delight your guests in a dimly lit room: $300. Powered by a standard 9v battery under the base, with on/off switch. This option is only available on the larger model.

Don't be fooled by some model makers out there who freely claim their models "museum grade" or even "true museum quality. Their ships are wrong on many counts. The hull is horrible. Some parts are oversized yet others undersized. Plenty are wrong; many are missing.  Go here to learn more: what to look in a tall ship model.

"I just unpacked my Wanderer and it is beyond my highest hopes. You did a masterful job in recreating this historic whaler! It is the centerpiece of my "man cave" and I'm sure will become a family heirloom. 

Almost equally amazing was the craftsmanship of the shipping crate. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about how such a large, detailed and delicate model would survive the transport but your custom fitted crate supported and protected it perfectly.

I did manage to break 2 of the delicate chains in the bow rigging as I removed some packing tape. My fault, but I am sure I can fix it myself. Would it be possible for you to send me about a foot of chain?
Thank you for everything and feel free to post this if you like,
