The
Santa Ana was built at El-Ferrol (Spain) in 1774. She was the prototype
of a series of 8 ships and carried 112 guns. In Trafalgar (1805), she
fought against the Royal Sovereign. After more than 3 hours of fighting,
with over 100 men killed, her rigging destroyed and surrounded by many
British ships, she surrendered. But, during the heavy storm that
followed the battle, her crew seized her and the Santa Ana was able to
return to Cadiz (Spain).
Kit includes everything
needed to build except for glue, paint and tools. Pictorial instruction
manual in color and detailed plans make building easy and a pleasure.
Artesania Latina has again
outdone themselves, this model replica of the Santa Ana is the best kit I have
seen come out in years, coupled with their easy to follow color pictorial
instructions, detailed plans and generous use of high quality
woods, this kit will surely set the example for other kit makers.
