We are offering a rare, maritime folk art piece.

The amazing miniature's hull is carved of one piece,
with the board seats attached (thwarts).
The two stars, on the hull, and the admirals seat,
point to this ship being modeled after an Admirals launch.
The white paint was added on later,
traces of the original white paint can still be seen around the edges.

that would have accompanied a ship through
historical sea battles in the Revolutionary War
through the War of 1812.
