Known as Baltimore Clippers, they helped establish the Port of Baltimore as a major shipbuilding center. Many were used as privateers during the War of 1812. Sleek, light, and exceptionally fast, they could overtake and seize the enemy with ease, destroying British shipping and earning huge profits for their owners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1974, Baltimore city officials decided to build a replica of a 19th century clipper to serve as good-will ambassador for the city. The ship, named \u003cem\u003ePride of Baltimore,\u003c\/em\u003e was launched at Baltimore's Inner Harbor on February 27, 1977. She was lost in micro-squall (an intense blast of wind building to hurricane velocity within seconds) on May 14, 1986. The city then commissioned a larger sister-ship, and the \u003cem\u003ePride of Baltimore II\u003c\/em\u003e was launched on April 30, 1989.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by naval architect Ben Lankford from original plans, our Model Shipways \u003cem\u003ePride of Baltimore\u003c\/em\u003e kit is an accurate representation. Ease of assembly and quality of components are two of the important attributes of the model. Structural parts, such as keel and bulkheads, are fine basswood, the choice of professional model builders. All wooden parts, from keel to sternpost, are laser cut for a perfect fit. Many of the Britannia metal castings have been designed specifically for this model, and include windlass life rings, vents, propellers, anchors, wheel, bilge pumps, and swivel guns. Ship's bell, portlights, eyebolts and cannon Model Shipways Barrels are brass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e150 wooden blocks and deadeyes, and four sizes of cotton line duplicate the rig plans and 48 page illustrated instruction manual guarantee smooth sailing. You'll display your finished \u003cem\u003ePride of Baltimore\u003c\/em\u003e model on wooden launching ways, also included with the kit.
