Relive the excitement and bustle of life in an early New England seaport where men unloaded barrels of whale oil from waiting boats, the smell of freshly caught clams drifted in the salt air and the bell of a distant lighthouse tolled a melancholy sound.
With this full-color H-O scale replica of an early American seaport, inspired by the famous Mystic, Connecticut restoration, you can recreate scenes of bygone days when fishing, whaling and shipbuilding made seaports important centers of American life.
Complete step-by-step instructions and exploded diagrams explain how to cut, fold and assemble 11 three-dimensional buildings accurately rendered on heavy card stock. Included are: lighthouse, ship chandlery, tavern, sparmaker's shop, captain's house, fish shack, shipsmith's shop, outhouse, cooper's shop, lifesaving station, and clam house.
You'll also find a full array of boats, a wagon, a pier and shop signs - everything you need to build this authentic model. Informative captions give the function of each building and a brief introduction supplies historical background.
