Build the oldest surviving American fighting vessel
Launched in August 1776, the Gunboat Philadelphia is the oldest American fighting vessel in existence—a rare survivor of the Revolutionary War.
She served in the small American fleet commanded by Benedict Arnold on Lake Champlain and went down in battle on October 11, 1776, during the Battle of Valcour Island against the Royal Navy. The remarkable part? She settled upright in the cold lake water and remained there until she was raised in 1935.
Today, the original Philadelphia is on permanent display at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.—still bearing the story of the hit that sank her (including a 24-pound cannonball associated with her loss).
A Ship That Matters
Philadelphia and her sister craft were hurriedly assembled into what many historians consider the first American Navy. Their mission was clear: defend the Lake Champlain corridor—one of the strategic gateways that could determine the success or failure of the American Revolution.
These “gundalos” (also called gondolas) were purpose-built for shallow water. Although equipped with a square sail and topsail on one mast, she was mostly powered by oars (sweeps) for maneuverability where larger vessels couldn’t go
The Philadelphia carried serious punch for her size: one 12-pounder, two 9-pounders, and swivel guns
The Model Shipways Kit
This kit offers a unique, satisfying build—and it’s more approachable than many larger warships thanks to CAD-assisted, laser-cut basswood parts (multiple thicknesses from 3/32" to 1/8"). Fine basswood is also used for hull and deck planking.
A standout feature: the hull is planked inside and out—an unusual detail that makes the build especially rewarding and authentic.

Cozy, put you'll need to clean your washer and dryer
Size: 35 in
My dogs LOVE this bed. It's plush, comfy and cozy. Downside, washing and drying it even on cold and low settings - the black backing sheds and covers the inside of washer and dryer. It's easy enough to do. I've washed them twice now and has happened both times.
