Hi! I definitely plan on building a few ships from kits first.. but was wonder if anyone ever built a ship without a kit?
Eventually I will like to build the Swedish ship "Charitas" from 1641. (Its the ship in the background of pic pasted below)
This is the ship my ancestor (Johan Andersson) came to present day Delaware way back in 1641.
Somehow.. i need to find more info about it... otherwise, the "Kalmar Nyckel" might be easier to build. The Charitas crossed the Atlantic with its sister ship (Kalmar Nyckel)
This ship has been completely recreated full size and sails! (see below)
maybe there is a kit out there similar enough to this start with that? any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks so much!!!
