Description

About the RMS Campania

The RMS Campania was built for the Cunard Steamship Line Shipping Company, and was launched in 1892. She began her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York on 22 April 1893 and a month later was awarded with her first Blue Riband, for setting a record in transatlantic voyage. She set a second record in August 1984, establishing herself as one of the fastest ocean liners during her time.

The RMS Campania was converted into an armed merchant cruiser and served as a scouting aide to the fleet until November 1918. She sank after colliding with the HMS Revenge on the 5th of November 1918, and could not be rescued.

Making of the RMS Campania Ship Model

The construction process begins with extensive research and planning, to ensure that the ship model is replicated as accurately as possible. The ship model is then scratch-built by master craftsmen, using her original plan and photographs.

The making of this model requires hundreds of hours of work before completion and undergoes a stringent quality control process before leaving the workshop. The team of master craftsmen make use of their skills and expertise to build the hulls and bridges exclusively out of hand picked hardwoods, in order to create the structure of the ship model. The plank-on-frame technique is then employed to follow the unique curve of each ships hull. In order to create a smooth finish, the model ship is sanded and varnished, before the painting begins. An undercoat layer is added, to create a smooth and even surface. The paint is then selected and matched to the colour of the original ship. The details on this ship have been replicated using polished brass and metal finishes. Each of these processes are executed in sync with the customer’s customisation requirement or matched perfectly with the ship’s original layout. The ship model is then packaged carefully, to ensure that ensure for a smooth and safe transit to our clients.

The RMS Campania model ship has been constructed in detail and is mounted on a solid wooden base with brass name plate. This model would make a stunning addition for any space.

This model is not a kit and is ready for display.
