"Berbice" - Baltimore clipper with berth at Ouay-Port Shipyard

"Berbice" is a two-mast schooner, also known as a Baltimore clipper. Its sail equipment was a gaff and the excellent yachting hull edges allowed it to develop a high speed. The ship is armed with six four-pounder guns, 2 12-pounder carronades and eight ¾-pounder falconettes and the crew's personal small arms. It was a formidable opponent for merchant and transport ships. It was built in 1780, and in 1782 or 1783 the ship was bought by the British Royal Navy. After 12 years of service there, the ship was wrecked off the coast of San Domingo.

The model are perfectly designed and well detailed, but not a very complicated, so we recommend gluing this model to anyone, who is not lazy, has patience and enough diligence and attention. Of course, advanced beginners and modelers with little experience are better to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague.
