THE SHIP THE ROYAL NAVY COULDN'T CATCH

Most ships of the War of 1812 fought with guns.

The Prince de Neufchatel fought with speed.

Built in New York in 1812, she was one of the fastest vessels on the Atlantic. Long, narrow, and aggressively rigged, the Prince routinely slipped away from Royal Navy warships that should have caught her.

When she wasn't escaping, she was hunting.

As an American privateer, her mission was simple: capture British merchant ships, seize their cargo, and disappear over the horizon before the Royal Navy arrived.

And she was exceptionally good at it.

The Legend of Nantucket Shoals

But speed alone didn't make her famous.

On the night of October 11, 1814, while anchored off Nantucket, the Prince de Neufchatel faced one of the most remarkable attacks of the War of 1812.

With much of her crew absent aboard captured prize ships, only 37 men remained aboard.

The British sent approximately 111 sailors and marines in heavily armed boats to board and capture her.

What followed was twenty minutes of brutal close-quarters combat.

Pistols.

Cutlasses.

Muskets.

Hand-to-hand fighting on a darkened deck.

When it was over, the British attack had collapsed. The survivors withdrew. The Prince remained free.

The action became one of the most celebrated small-ship engagements in American naval history.

Even decades later, naval architects studied her lines. Many historians consider the Prince de Neufchatel a forerunner of the famous clipper ships that would dominate the oceans years later.

The Model Shipways Kit: History in 1:64 Scale

At over 32 inches long, the completed model captures everything that made the original so distinctive: the sleek hull, sharply raked masts, powerful brigantine rig, and elegant proportions that made her one of the fastest ships of her era.

A great umbrella $$$
Color: Lime, Color: Lime
I have navy blue with accents of this lime green for a pop of color , this is replacing my umbrella that just broke because I left it up in the wind. This is 10 foot, it tilts easily, the material feels strong and it went together easily. I love it. Definitely would recommend for the price, if it lasted a couple of years I’ve got my moneys worth, I have bought more expensive ones and the canvas still gets destroyed by the sun.. I’ll just buy a new one. Highly recommend!
