A French warship built to our Admiral Line standard — plank on frame, from scratch, entirely by hand.
Each hull plank is laid individually over a wooden frame in western red cedar, rosewood and mahogany, the way working ships were built. Hundreds of hours go into a single hull, and each one passes a full inspection before it leaves the workshop.
Construction
- Plank-on-frame hull in western red cedar, rosewood and mahogany
- Gun ports with cast cannon along both sides
- Carved stern gallery and quarter gallery detail
- Three masts and bowsprit with complete hand-knotted standing and running rigging
- Hand-stitched linen sails on every yard
- Ship's boats, capstan, wheel, gratings and rails
- Metal anchors and wooden rudder
- Solid wood base and engraved brass nameplate
- Fully assembled — no kit, no glue, no tools
Chrome and brass fittings throughout, with a hand-applied finish that leaves the hardwood grain visible rather than burying it under lacquer.
About the name
Furieux was carried by several ships of the French navy across the 18th and 19th centuries. The name follows a French convention of naming warships for qualities rather than places or people — alongside Terrible, Redoutable and Intrépide.
