The USS Constellation was the United States Navy’s first ship to ever be involved in a ship vs. ship battle on the open seas. On February 5, 1799, under the command of Captiain Tomas Truxton the USS Constellation in her first confrontation with another ship captured the Insurgente, a 36-gun frigate in the French fleet. This battle took place off the Island of Nevis in the West Indies during the “Quasi War” with France.

Another battle which earned the USS Constellation fame occurred a year later on February 2, 1899 off the French base at Guadeloupe Island. Here the Constellation was involved in a gruesome battle with the Vengeance for five immensely long hours. The crew of the Vengeance, a 52-gun ship escaped in the darkness with twice as many casualties as the Constellation and in danger of sinking.

Once again in 1812 the USS Constellation continued to fulfill her duties as a warship in the battle of Carney Island defending Norfolk, Virginia from the British.

Built in Baltimore and designed by John Lenthall, this magnificent ship was to make her mark in history by winning many major battles. Named after the “new constellation of stars” on the American flag, she was the first ship to carry the name Constellation. She soon earned the nickname “Yankee Racehorse” due to her incredible speed.

All of our model ships and boats are handmade from scratch.

They are built by very skillful and experienced craftsmen. They are also built according to the scale of the original full sized ships. We do this through the use of original plans or pictures and use a plank on frame construction method. The hull of our ships are joined by multiple pieces of dry thin wood.

Inside of the hull, we use a special glue that is imported just for this purpose. The glue makes the wood strips stay close together so that they will not split, crack or twist which can happen due to weather changes or humidity changes.

Our models are built completely for raw materials, NOT kits. We recommend that you purchase a display stand for each ship that you purchase to protect it from harm.
