History:
The Santa Ana was built at El Ferrol, Spain in 1784.
She was a prototype of a series of 8 ships and carried 112 guns.
In Trafalgar, 1805, she fought against the Royal Sovereign. After
more than three hours with over 100 men killed, her rigging destroyed
and surrounded by many British ships, she surrendered. But, during
the heavy storm that followed the battle, her crew seized her and
the Santa Ana arrived to Cadiz.
Features:
Brass hardware such as eyebolts, stanchions, rings and
hinges. Highly detailed brass bow (figurehead) and stern parts.
Detailed construction methods allow modeler to form the hull by
attaching planking strakes to the false keel and frames. Modeler
will want to file and sand the whole hull until you have a compact
and smooth surface. Also, each mast and yard arm are hand sanded
to the correct shape. All deck accessories must be built, painted
or stained for added realism. Taking the time to do the detail work
will give a truly realistic boat model and a very rewarding building
experience for the modeler.
Includes:
All fittings, riggings, deck and hull planking strakes,
masts, bowsprit, brass stern moldings, 12-spools of rigging thread,
pre-sewn sails, decal sheet, die-cut sheet showing all die-cut parts
and photo illustrated instruction manual.
