Model Ships Make Great Gifts Or Additions To Your Nautical Decor

It is often the case that when friends are celebrating a festive occasion or have just been a good friend then offering a gift is fitting. A nautical decor gift is suitable if there is an interest in maritime articles. The selection is interesting, eclectic and varied. You may be a collector and also be interested in these articles.

You can add a bit of ocean to any space when you chose one of these articles. In your home or office you can put them on display to be enjoyed. The nautical interest may be model ships. They now are using museum quality wood for these true works of art. The models are elaborately handcrafted for durability as the real ships were. There is a base of beautiful marble that your model rests on.

The selection is varied and you can choose the USS Constitution or the Titanic if that fulfills your interest. These could be placed in a place of honor so that everyone can see. The stunning tall ships with their sails or the very renowned Mayflower also deserve a unique place. Putting the H. M. S. Bounty or the Columbus trio, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria on the mantle of your fireplace would be ideal. Reminders of certain eras like the Mississippi riverboats, Sampan fishing boats, or Chinese junks are also exciting to own.

If you are bold and courageous perhaps you want to indulge in a Caribbean pirate ship. All pirate ships plus the more noted ships like the Flying Dutchman can be yours. There are other models depicting the ships of famous pirates like Calico Jack and Captain Kidd.

Viking ships with their dragon figureheads and their peppermint colored sails, the Bluenose fishing schooners, and clippers are just some of the different choices. Not only are there historical themes but modern day ships are also available. Perhaps your friend would like a more recent ship or boat depiction.

A very famous event is the America Cup, which has its own series. Included in this series are the Ranger, the Defender, the Enterprise, and the Columbia. Any fan of the America Cup would certainly appreciate receiving one of these.

Other modern day boats would be lobster boats, dories, whalers, fishing boats, and yachts. There are also models of speedboats and cruisers. The Coast Guard are also represented with cutters and icebreakers. The Trident or Los Angeles submarine would be a valued gift as would be the model of the USS Nimitz or the USS Harry S. Truman.

Model ships are not the only articles in this theme. There is a very large selection of many different items, big and small. To compliment the models perhaps a bell such as the anchor bell, the lanyard bell, or the cast brass bell could fit well. Figureheads were essential on ships in order to be safe at sea and to calm the gods. Some reproductions of figureheads include Polynesian maidens, Indian princesses, and one of the most familiar, the mermaids.
