An Armed
Schooner the Sultana was built in Boston, Massachusetts
and was one of the earliest examples of schooner building in
North America. She was purchased by the Royal Navy in 1768 and
was the smallest schooner ever to be registered on their lists. |

She spent
her first four years carrying 8 guns, 12 swivels and 25 men to
patrol the East Coast of North America as a dispatch boat and
revenue cruiser. She is one of the most thoroughly documented
vessels from the early Revolutionary period.
This Sultana
ship model carries and amazing amount of detail work normally
found only on a larger scale model due to the difficulty of execution
in this scale.

This solid
wood hull scale model is painted in natural earth tones with
vibrant red deck accents, the color scheme of the original ship.

brass accents all adorn this realistic beauty.
