This Wooden Gorch Fock Limited Tall Model Ship 28 inch displays a wealth of detail parallel to that of the famous tall ship that is still currently sailing the seas today. This vessel was originally built in 1933, although along her journey there were major issues with the body and bulkheads of the ship. Hence a new ship was built and the new version of the Gorch Folk is used for naval training, and is also an active participant of the annual Tall Ships Races.
