Description
A three-masted sailing ship with a hull cut from two shells and eleven sails shaped from shell offcuts, rigged with cotton twine on bamboo spars. The largest and slowest thing we make — a single ship takes an artisan the best part of a week.
A display piece rather than a toy. It stands on a turned shell foot and needs no fixing.
