THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST HALF HULLS THAT I HAVE SEEN. NOT ONLY DOES IT HAVE GREAT CRAZED PAINT & THE BEST DETAIL BUT IT HAS EXCELLENT SCALE AT 87" LONG X 13 1/2" WIDE. IT IS DATED ON THE BRASS PLATE 1875. THAT IS WHEN BOTH SHIPS WERE INDICATED. THEY WERE MADE IN THE FAMOUS SHIP YARDS OF THE LAIRD BROTHERS, BIRKENHEAD YARDS. THE CONFEDERATE WAR SHIP ALABAMA WAS BUILT HERE. THE COLUMBIA (1873) AND SANTA ROSA (1872) HAD IDENTICAL SHIP HULLS. IF YOU LIKE SHIPS, THIS IS A REAL TREASURE.
