Description

The Andrea Gail was a commercial fishing vessel, operating in the 1990s. On September 20^th 1991, the vessel set sail from Gloucester Harbour with 6 crew members on board. They intended to make a fishing trip for swordfish in the proximity of the Grand Banks off of the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

On October 30^th 1991, the vessel was reported overdue by the owner, and an intensive air and sea search mission was conducted. To this day, the vessel remains unfound and the 6 crew members are presumed lost at sea.

This terrifically intricate model includes plank on frame construction, laser cut plywood keel and frame components, as well as a wooden superstructure and decks. The planning sheet is full-sized, and it measures in at a scale of 1/60. It’s recommended for beginners.
