A French sailing ship of 51m with hull in steel plates of 1cm thickness, launched in 1896 in Nantes, the Belem transported freight towards Americas, the Caribbean and South America in particular.
Le Belem was present in Martinique at the time of the famous and deadly eruption of the Peeled Mountain in 1902. It became a private yacht in 1914, made round the world trips, then, after a long period of inactivity, became a training ship under the Italian colors, before returning in 1979 under French colors.
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.
