Ready for Immediate Display - Not a Model Ship kit

This Limited Edition model of the famous naval warship the HMS Surprise holds a great deal of detail and accents a nautical home perfectly. Based on the original 18th-century British Admiralty drawings, the vessel was sold to 20th Century Fox shortly after the acquisition, and was featured in the film Master and Commander. She still sails several times a year and now resides at the Maritime Museum of San Diego.
