Product Description:

Relive a dramatic chapter of maritime history with the OcCre Essex 1:60 scale model ship kit (12006). This highly detailed wooden model replicates the infamous 19th-century whaler Essex, whose real-life tragedy inspired Herman Melville’s classic novel Moby Dick.

Built for model ship enthusiasts and history buffs alike, this premium-quality kit is designed for intermediate to advanced modellers. Featuring precise laser-cut parts, scale-accurate detailing, and clear instructions, it offers an engaging building experience and a stunning display piece upon completion.

The Essex embarked on her fateful journey in 1819 from Nantucket.

OcCre brings this legendary story to life through craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

With a finished length of 735mm, height of 552mm, and width of 225mm, the model captures the essence of early American whaling vessels and makes a proud addition to any maritime collection.
