Donald McKay built the Flying Fish in 1851 at East Boston Massachusetts. It was registered at the Boston Custom House as a ship of 1,505 tons, at a length of 207 feet & a beam of 22 feet.
Plank-on-bulkhead construction by Model Shipways features laser cut basswood keel and 21-piece bulkhead set. Stem, sternest, rudder, stern pieces & planksheer are also laser cut. The hull is planked with individual basswood strips, & we supply self-adhesive copper coil to sheath it below the waterline. Masts, yards & spars are high quality beech. Rigging plan is faithful to the original, with three diameters each of black standing & white running rigging, plus 200 wooden deadeyes & 225 blocks in various sizes. Eyebolts, backing links & ship s bell are solid brass. We reproduce virtually every detail of the real clipper ship, & expertly cast Britannia metal fittings ensure scale accuracy. You ll find figurehead, anchors, five ship s boats, capstans, binnacle, mast caps, windows & ladders, chocks, davits & stanchions.
