In this issue of the possibility of collecting antique ship models I'm interested now what time. There is a large reservoir constructed Votive-ships. Is the British admiralty model 17 century, which were built at shipyards. There is built on a regular basis French model with the end of 18 century. Something has to different countries of Europe. But what about those periods in the history of shipbuilding on which there is no built models then? After the French Revolution, a huge part of the model was destroyed in the revolutionary fervor. The Dutch did not build models, they used other methods of knowledge transfer from engineer to master. It's possible models of Peter's ships. I'm not talking about the models of the era that preceded the Middle Ages and early Europe. Asia, Arabs, and Oceania. The ship itself is a delightful and perfect engineering construction, the subject of culture. Even without a load of stories of people who sailed on these ships, or perhaps owned models of these ships.
