The Polaris ship model by OcCre is not only a rewarding project for model builders but also a gateway to maritime history. Inspired by the versatile coastal trading ships of the 19th century, the model reflects a type of vessel commonly used for transporting goods between ports and embarking on smaller exploration missions. These ships were essential during the golden age of sail, bridging the gap between local trade and global expansion.
The name Polaris, referencing the North Star, underscores the historical importance of celestial navigation. Before the advent of modern instruments, sailors relied on stars like Polaris to chart their courses and traverse unfamiliar waters with confidence. This model pays homage to an era of daring explorers and resilient traders who braved the seas guided only by the wind and the stars.
The Polaris model, with a length of 580 mm and a height of 446 mm, offers builders a chance to master essential shipbuilding techniques such as hull planking, mast rigging, and wood finishing. At the same time, it evokes the spirit of a time when maritime innovation and adventure shaped global history. Perfect for both beginners and advanced enthusiasts, the Polaris captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship and seafaring legacy
