U.S. Pilot Boat Swift. 1:50 Wooden Model Ship Kit

HISTORY OF A MYTHICAL SHIP: VIRGINIA PILOT BOAT SWIFT

The Swift was an early 19th-century Virginia pilot boat. Lightweight and overpowered twin master ship, it safely guided the largest incoming vessels into port. In short, these types of boats were used to guide large ships in and out of ports. In this case, they helped those on the North American East Coast because they were easy to manoeuvre, fast and light.

Pilot boats' technical features let the great naval powers of the time enlarge them creating the famous Baltimore Clippers class. That is why it was an obligation that the scale model or replica that we offer you existed.
