Where appropriate, all scale ship models are constructed with hardwood using the plank-on-frame technique and built to scale using ships' drawings. The models use cotton sails and rigging and in the case of the larger vessels are suitable for use as exhibits in galleries or museums. Many models are available in Large and Small sizes with both versions offering the same level of detail.

Stocks of most models are held but you should allow up to 8 weeks for some of the larger models. If you have specific enquiries for other ships, please contact us. Models are shipped all over the world in secure packaging at very reasonable prices.

Original specifications: Type: Galleon; Dimensions (L/B/D): 29 x 21 x 9.6 m; Hull: Wood; Armament: 28 guns; Built: L'Orient, France; Year: 1736

The Saint Geran was built and launched in L'Orient in 1736.

The Saint Geran wrecked on the north coast of Mauritius on 17 August, 1744. There were 149 men on board and only 9 were saved.

The fate of the Saint Geran inspired the French author Bernandin De Saint Pierre to write the famous novel 'Paul et Virginie'.
