The Model Ship Studio
See model ships in Mossel Bay
The model shipyard is part of the Mossel Bay Maritime Museum complex. You can walk through the studio where you can see craftsmen at work building model ships. The art of model ship building is as old as maritime history itself. For centuries, plans of proposed new vessels, submitted to the admiralty for approval, had to be accompanied by a fully detailed scale model ship. The craft was handed down from generation to generation. Eventually, meticulously handcrafted model shipbuilding developed into a form of Maritime Art.
