Norske Love Painted Wooden Model
Ship
The Norske Love (Norwegian Lion) was built in 1765 in the Nyholm shipyard,
close to Copenhagen. The ship was named after the Norwegian Lion and the Danish-Norwegian
Imperial Coat of Arms. There was a normal crew of 667 men and an armament of
70 cannons of iron with 26 cannons 24 pd. on the lower deck, 26 cannons 18 pd.
on the middle deck and 18 cannons 8 pd. on the upper deck. The Norske Love was
used as a guard ship in Oeresund and other Danish waters. In 1795, after having
been stripped into a block ship, she was used to give shelter for homeless families
after the fire in Copenhagen that same year. In 1798 she was deleted from the
naval register.
This wooden model ship is 100% hand built from scratch, meaning no kits whatsoever.
Completed ship models contain thousands of details created by our skillful master
craftsmen. Made of fine wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other exotic

of our model ships. Extensive research through original plans and pictures make
our models authentic. Each model ship goes through a demanding quality control
process before leaving the workshop. Just the perfect gift for home or office
decorator, model boat enthusiast or passionate collector.
