A fine exhibit and publication about model ship building!

What’s going on aboard the San Diego based sistership of our own ferryboat home? Take a look at this great looking exhibit about ship modeling. What a great idea – just what ship modeling needs!

This blog post was found and re-blogged at Ages of Sail (http://blog.agesofsail.com), where we picked up on it.

Apparently, this exhibit is still going on, but no information was available on how long it will continue. One source at the museum thought it would be until November.

Royal Danish Arsenal Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark

Royal Danish Arsenal Museum in Copenhagen now also houses the Royal Danish Maritime Museum.  The Sea Power maritime exhibit is on the 2nd floor of the building.  In addition to hundreds of models, there are uniforms, weapons and other artifacts.

I included a few photos of maritime interest, including boats on the canals, a tall ship and the Naval Chapel with a large ship model hanging in the middle.

[Editor’s Note: These photos were published by Jerry Bellows, a long time member of the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights. He and his wife Fran are active volunteers at Hyde Street Pier and you might catch them on the pier in 1901 period costume on the second Saturdays from March through December.]
