As seen at Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool, UK. This model is huge and is displayed in a glass case in low lighting conditions so not the easiest thing to photograph. It was made, like the ships, by Harland and Wolff in Belfast.
These are more of my former collection of 1:1250 scale ship models, organized by shipping line. White Star Line w/Titanic at upper left, Cunard at middle right, Union-Castle at upper right, German liners lower left, etc. Acrylic archival-quality cases from the Container Store. A terrible photo, but just wanted to document my collection prior to selling the models.
Update: they have all been sold, and are no longer in my possession.

This early 15th century 'Caraval' carries the name 'Orion Star' and is used for the transport of goods along the Mediterranean trade routes.
In 1486 Florence and Venice had widely accepted trade agreements and benefit of each others reach within the ever expanding worldwide trade routes.
Apart from creating the shape of this ship, the sails and the color scheme, the real challenge was to recreate the symbol of florence; the iconic fleur de lis.
Personally, I think this worked out pretty well 😁
_____________________________________
Some background story;
I chose this type of ship because it fits within the time frame and the characteristics of the venice laguna of that time (not deep and many sandbanks).
The caravel had a stern rudder and a raised forecastle and sterncastle. Caravels had a typical length-to-beam ratio of 3.5:1 with a shallow draught. It was also highly manoeuvrable and fast. All of these characteristics made the caravel ideal for exploring unfamiliar waters and coastal shallows where larger ships might easily have become stranded on sandbanks or damaged by rocks.

The Grundtvig memorial church (Peter Vilhelm Jensen Klint & Kaare Klint, 1921-40) stands in the Copenhagen suburb of Bispebjerg, and is a celebration of both the Expressionist and National Romantic styles of architecture. Here, in the south aisle, we get a taste of the exquisitely smooth brickwork from which the entire church is crafted. I remember being absolutely thrilled at getting the chance to visit Copenhagen, and thus this building, which is probably one of the most admired non-Modernist 20th century churches in Europe. Photograph taken Monday 27th August 2000.

The Littorio Class (sometimes also known as the Vittorio Veneto Class) was a Class of Fast Battleships built in Italy during the Second World War. A total of three entered service during the conflict: Littorio and Vittorio Veneto were commissioned on May 1940 and Roma on June 1942; another ship Imperio was never completed.
These ships were extremely fast with a maximum speed of +30knots and carried a heavy battery of nine 381mm main guns mounted on three triple turrets. They also carried a heavy secondary battery of twelve 152mm guns on four triple turrets and a separate anti-aircraft battery of twelve 90mm guns, twenty 37mm auto-cannons and twenty 20mm auto-cannons. The ship also carried four 120mm older guns designed to fire star-shells for night engagements.
These ships, although as well protected as in other Navies of the time still had a good armored protection that ranged between 380mm on the turrets to 280mm + 70mm extra on the belt.
Although they were very fast and beautiful ships (usually 10knots faster than the British Queen-Elizabeth/Royal Soverign Class Battleships) these ships, like many other Italian ships had a series of problems, namely poor quality of their shells, lack of Naval radar (until 1941-42) and as the War progressed, lack of fuel for operations.
However, it´often forgot that the Littorio-class had one of the most complex and sophisticated fire control systems in the world in 1940. During the opening engagement of the Battle of Cape Matapan, Vittorio Veneto managed straddled HMS Gloucester at 23 km (for context, the Battle of Denmark Strait started at 16 km!).

In preparation for our trip to England I researched all the maritime museums and came across Arlington Court. They have the most fabulous collection of model ships, especially the Napoleonic bone carved prisoner of war models. It was well worth the visit.

The sails come from a model ship, set in front of the painting... Also Inside of JE and Sons, located, in La Jolla California.
One of the very early images I took of windows at night. I remember of the painting of the women, with a wooden model ship to its right. In retrospect, perhaps I might have improved the image had I closed down my lens and edited our the reflection of the stop sign. Still this image for me is one of my favorites and got me going on this series
