Our Story

Model ships have a magical history that predates human civilization. In ancient Greece, Egypt, and Phoenicia, ship models were used as votive offerings for successful voyages or surviving peril at sea. In the modern era, admiralty models were made by royal navies to demonstrate proposed warship designs. In the 1880s, Britain led the charge in amateur ship model building, and by the glitzy 1920s, ship model collecting had become a popular pastime for American civilians.

Premier Handmade has gathered the very best in historical ship models in one safe haven to resurrect this time-honored tradition. At our store, you can find tall ships, battleships, cruise liners, sailboats, and yachts, among other things. We have it all, from the Mayflower pilgrim ship to the USS Constitution frigate.

Premier Handmade is where nautical magic happens.
