HISTORY OF ARAB DHOW SULTAN: KNOW THE MODEL YOU WILL BUILD
Discover Sultan, a wooden model of this traditional Arabian dhow from the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, India and East Africa. This ship was the primary instrument in the commerce and in the propagation of the Islamic faith. Also, the dhow was mainly used as cargo ship, from grain and fish to slaves or minerals.
The exact origin of the dhow is unknown, although its appearance seems to be linked to Islam. Revolutionary in naval history for its triangular sails and practically unchanged since its initial designs, it is believed that the dhow was the germ for the construction of Venetian galleys and caravels, favoring the creation of larger ships with mixed sails. The dhows are still sailing along the shores of the Indian Ocean.
CONTENTS OF THE DHOW CALLED SULTAN WOODEN MODELING KIT
The modeling kit of the Sultan dhow contains everything necessary for the model to be a faithful reflection of the original ship, thanks mainly to its design by false keel and frames. It is a 1:60 scale model, an elegant two-sided boat primordial in naval modeling. Once it is built, this faithful miniature replica measures 15.35'' (390mm) length, 4.92'' (125mm) width and 17.32'' (440mm) height.
The replica contains a set of parts of board precut by laser of high precision; wood, brass and foundry parts; wood and birch veneer; high-quality brass photo-engraving pieces; sails handsewn and ready to be placed; cotton thread; exhibition base to expose the model ship once it is finished; super detailed step-by-step guide on DVD for computer (Windows and Mac).

The HMS Erebus was a ship of the Franklin Expedition to the Arctic, led by Sir John Franklin in 1845. Along with the HMS Terror, the Erebus ventured into the Arctic ice and never returned, becoming the Lost Expedition of Sir John Franklin. The Erebus was built in 1826 and was 88 meters long. It was one of the most technologically advanced ships of its time, equipped with steam engines and designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the Arctic. However, despite its innovations, the expedition suffered serious setbacks and none of the 129 crew members aboard the Erebus and Terror survived. The HMS Erebus has become a symbol of Arctic exploration and human tenacity in the face of adversity. Only at OcCre, you'll find it.

Essential complements for the HMS Erebus model ship:
Erebus and Terror of Franklin's lost expedition
The HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were two ships that were part of Sir John Franklin's Lost Expedition to the Arctic in 1845. Both ships were technologically advanced for their time and were equipped with steam engines to navigate the Arctic waters. The expedition sought to find the Northwest Passage but became trapped in the ice and never returned. After several years without news of the ships, a search was initiated that led to their discovery in 2014 and 2016. Although remains of the expedition were found, the exact cause of its failure was never determined, leading to many theories and speculations. The Erebus and Terror are remembered as symbols of Arctic exploration and the bravery of the explorers who ventured into an unknown and dangerous territory.
