"HMS Sultana"
Now Complete! -SOLD-
As a royal navy yacht, this boats sailed the waters of America between 1768 to 1772 enforcing duties and stopping smuggling. Today, you can spot this replica ship of the "Sultana" launched from Chestertown, Maryland, which is being used for educational cruises. As lucky sailors ourselves, we were able to see her leave Solomons Island, Maryland, with a crew full of little ones.
Due to the quick nature of construction, pictures of the beginning stages of "Sultana" were not taken.
"Sultana" will be available for public view at the Fete Voiles Latines in Morge, Switzerland on August 14, 2010 beside the castle. She will be a demonstration boat and inserted into the bottle during the event. "Sultana" is availble for purchase after that date.

Nearly Complete
"Sultana" sails, though not complete, are the typical sails hoisted on a day with a moderate breeze on the Chesapeake Bay.
You can also see the American flag aft, her red flame, and the Maryland flag forward.

Five windows extended the length of the stern, as well as one on each side.
Thought the length of the hull was quite short as it was the smallest ship acquired by the British royal navy, its length from bowsprit tip to boom is 97 feet.

"Sultana" is complete with numerous details, and I am very happy with the outcome of all parts.
She is complete with red trimmed hatches and bullwark, a red tiller, white figure head, two anchors and catheads, black tipped or fully black spars, aft windows, hull stripes, numerous rigging lines, capstain and anchor line, flags, steps to the stern deck, and much more.

Inside the Bottle
This ship was inserted into the bottle as a demonstration piece during the "Fete Voiles Latines." It was a complete success and is quite an attractive ship in bottle.
As quite a pretty little ship, she had no time finding a home quickly. If you enjoy her look and would like your own, please inquire. I would be happy to custom build your very own "Sultana."
