Who's from Los Angeles? There is the Amerigo Vespucci ship.

Hi CommodoreH, beautiful Eagle.
I really like this type of ships that came out of the Hamburg shipyards in the 1930s.
I have a book that illustrates and describes tall ships.

Who's from Los Angeles? There is the Amerigo Vespucci ship.

1499

Vespucci actually had four ships. Their names were San Antiago, Repertaga, Wegiz, and Girmand. Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian merchant, navigator, and explorer from the city of Florence who sailed on behalf of both Spain and Portugal. It was Columbus that named America after him. Columbus found the new world, but it was Vespucci realized it was the new world.

The U.S. also operates a training ship.

Hi Jumpugly, The Amerigo Vespucci is produced in several kits in the following scales: 1:84, 1:100; 1:150; 1:350 from four manufacturers (at least the ones I know of) but only for static models, not RC.
I only know one person who is building the RC model of the Vespucci starting from a static kit.
This is no easy feat. It is very difficult if you want to sail it only by motor. If you then want to maneuver the sails in that very complicated tangle of running maneuvers then the work is truly arduous.

Fans of naval modeling and ships in general, I wanted to inform you that the training ship of the Italian navy is in Los Angeles and can be visited.
