About:
A coal carrying merchant ship operating on the coast of England, named the Bethia, was purchased by the Admiralty, renamed the Bounty, and re-commissioned in 1787 for a special mission. She was to sail halfway around the world to Tahiti, collect sapling breadfruit trees and transport them to the West Indies. Owners of the burgeoning British plantations there needed a cheap source of food for the workers...
This model was built according to scale of the original ship by skillful craftsmen. It takes more than 200 hundreds hours to finish by master craftsmen. Model is fully assembled and ready for display.
