New Look and Feel For The Website

Well after spending considerable time and effort working on Changes and upgrades to the web site Ship Model Super Store I think we have a really good looking site that should function well for our customers. We have been so busy around the shop that we are having trouble getting all our old models back in Inventory!

I guess that is a good thing to be busy though. One of our last custom ordered models left last month.The Coast Guard 82 is now in stock and ready to ship. Click the blue text and take a look. This is a very detailed wooden model built plank on frame for accuracy and detailed to the hilt. This model exudes accuracy and beauty at the same time. Painted by hand and trimmed with many magnificent deck details this is one great model to display at your home or office. If you want one you better hurry because we only have one left in stock

A customer special ordered a Coat Guard 82 when it was out of stock and we custom built one for her. She was thrilled with the model and it was well worth the wait. I went a head a little and had two built so that someone else could enjoy one also.

Make sure you check us out on Facebook and Google Plus just click the links below in Blue. I post and re post a lot of great stories about the latest news, discoveries and museum notes I find from all over the world.

Ghost Ship on the Ohio River

Imagine Kayaking down the Ohio River and finding an old ship abandoned from more than 30 years ago? Pretty cool to see the over growth and and rusting hulk of the Circle Line V Steam ship, sitting in it’s final resting place.
The ship has quite a history, she saw two world wars, Thomas Edison and countless travelers and sight seers in her life.
She was built in 1902 for a Railroad executive at the time.
From the looks of her now she sure had seen some better days!
The growth and foot of dirt on the deck suggests she has been resting here for quite sometime.
