The Amerigo Vespucci is a superb three masts, built in 1931 in Naples in Italy, property of the naval Academy of Livorno. This training ship with a steel hull is long of 101m, for 3000 m2 of maximum sails. It takes a crew of 400 sailors on each trip. Its name is that of Amerigo Vespucci, whose first name, feminized in America was used by the cartographer Waldseemuller on a chart of the world of 1506 to indicate the few Western islands recently discovered by Christophe Colomb, and re-explored by Vespucci according to his disputed writings.
The model
This model of boat is of museum quality. It is manufactured by hand by Malagasy craftsmen under the direction of Herve Scrive. For an optimal fidelity to the model, the construction of the ship model uses the process of assembly of broadsides on couples (the boards forming the hull are fixed on the couples forming the internal frame of the ship). The bridge of the boat is lathed as on a full scale boat. The hull and the bridge are varnished in several layers. The vessel is made out of exotic wood chosen for their qualities in model making and for their colors.
Each ship model is numbered and accompanied by a historical summary engraved on wood.
This model of boat, assembled by hand during tens or of hundreds of hours of craftmen specialized in hulls manufacturing, rigging, installation of veils etc, is not a kit, but is fully assembled and ready to be admired.
