OCEAN MONARCH ocean liner

 

Ocean Monarch was the first postwar-built ship designed especially for the American cruise market. Based in New York, she traveled on the New York - Bermuda route. She served with Furness Withy until 1966, during which she was awarded a gold medal by the American Institute for Designing for her "outstanding beauty and unusual design features of a cruise ship."



Ocean Monarch was built by Vickers-Armstrongs Ltd, Walker, and launched on 27 July 1950. She was 13,654 gross ton and 516.1ft long, capable of 18 knots, and accommodating 414 first class passengers.

In the Summer of 1981, Ocean Monarch started running for SUR-Seereisen, Germany, who announced a series of Mediterranean cruises to take place. Her name was changed to Reina del Mar. On 1 June 1981, a fire broke out on Reina del Mar. The ship was subsequently scuttled off Kynosoura.

This primarily wood Ocean Monarch ship model is 33" long x 12" tall x 6" wide $3,890   Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $500 flat rate. This model is in stock and can be shipped within 5 business days. The model comes with the large base as shown. Adding an acrylic top cover is only $900 extra. If you want a smaller base (about 12" long, the cost is $300 less.)

Lighting feature is included. A ship without beautiful lighting is not an ocean liner. 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.

Don't be fooled by some model makers out there who freely claim their model "museum quality" or even "true museum quality". Their ships are wrong on many counts to start with (horrible hulls). The paint job is coarse. Portholes and windows not uniform and not aligned. Go here to learn more: how to choose a model ship.
