This Item Is Currently Out Of Stock!
This is a Museum-quality, Fully Assembled model of the Holland Frigate Friesland.
The model is 100% hand built from scratch using “plank on frame”
construction method. Our master craftsmen have spent more than 100 hours to
finish it.
One bold feature that makes this model standout is the art of wood use. Rosewood,
mahogany, teak and other exotic woods are carefully selected to accent each
part of the model. This replica has magnificent details which include metal
anchors and cannons, authentic crows nest, advanced rigging, rolled sails and
an ornate stern. No plastic parts! Comes on a solid wood base, with metal nameplate.
The Friesland was originally constructed in Holland, in 1663. The Friesland
was part of the great fleet of the United Province of Holland. She was a second
rank vessel, built around 1663 with 80 guns.
In 1672, she took part, under the command of De Ruyter’s Command, along with
77 other vessels, in the battle of Solebay against the Allied Anglo-French forces.
Friesland is particularly noted for the particular refinement of her poop decorations
and the superstructure of her decks.
