An 84 m long French flagship of 74 guns, launched in 1784. The Superbe was designed by architect Jacques Noël Sane who drew many French ships of the XVIIIth century. The lines and qualities of navigation of his ships were admired unanimously, even by our friends and nevertheless competitors from England. In the race for glory and world supremacy, they couldn't help using immediately against France the French ships they captured.
The Superbe is regarded as one of the most beautiful French warships of the time.
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.
