Aurora – Nova Scotia Brigantine 1863

Aurora – Brigantines like the Aurora were the back-bone of North American trade during the 19th century. Usually less than 100 feet long and manned by six to eight sailors, they were built quickly and at relatively low cost. They were rigged with square sails on the fore mast and triangular sails on the aft mast for a practical combination of speed and maneuverability. Hundreds of brigantines like the Aurora were built in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and New England from the 1830s to the 1920s. These ships transported lumber and salted cod to the Caribbean in exchange for sugar and rum.

MONTANES – Spanish 74 Gun Ship Of The Line 1794 by OcCre Models

INCLUDES PRE-SEWN SAILS

MONTANES – The Montanes represents the maximum level of perfection achieved by Spanish naval architecture, when Spanish ships-of-the-line were match for those of any navy in the world. The figurehead of this ship is not the royal lion, but a montañés highlander, in gratitude for the financial contribution towards her construction made by the people of the mountains. Montanes was launched in Ferrol on 14th May 1794. It is said that the Montanes was an extraordinary vessel, whether sailing close to the wind, running free or with a following wind, and that, more than any other ships, she kept her batteries out of the water. Montanes was engaged in a number of battles, including Trafalgar, where she mounted 76 guns and 4 carronades with mortars, located on her quarter deck. On 6th March 1810, in a violent storm, Montanes sank off the Bay of Cadiz, Spain.
