Armed Virginia Sloop (1768) Ship Kit – Model Shipways (MS2160)

About the Armed Virginia Sloop

Launched circa 1768, the Armed Virginia Sloop was a single-masted privateer (or smuggler), which was a significant evolution in the range of fast sailing vessels of the time. While small, it was a well-designed ship with an elegant sheer and low freeboard.
