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.

Built using traditional plank-on-bulkhead construction, this kit is the perfect "step-up" project designed for builders with previous planking experience who are ready for a more rewarding, demanding subject.

Our favorite pillows & we're picky!
Size: Queen Size
My whole family love these pillows, & we are picky pillow people! They are comfortable through the whole night & I get the best nights sleep. We even put them in our AirBnB house & guests ask where they can buy one. I highly recommend. They are soft on your head but still supportive.

Excellent pillow
Size: Queen Size
I have now been using this pillow for 6 months and I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s all one piece, not shredded material that shifts. Stays exactly the same shape. Bouncy & not too thick or thin. Stays cool. I don’t plan on ever using any other kind. I sleep so well and no neck pain.

The PERFECT Pillow!
Size: Queen Size
As I grow older, I was waking up with a sore neck. I tried a variety of pillows including feather, fiberfill and memory foam, but Latex was the best by far. Now to find the perfect Latex pillow... First I tried Dunlop Latex but found it too firm. Then I tried 2 different Tatalay Latex. One was soft until my head sunk down, then it became too firm. The second one, this one, was PERFECT. Soft but not too soft, and my head never bottoms out. Feels like my head is floating on air. And no rubber odor. There is a slight scent initially but it isn't unpleasant. I've been sleeping on this pillow for 10 days now and have never slept better. I don't find that it's any warmer than any other pillow. The pillow comes with a nice soft stretchy cotton cover. (I purchased a spare pillow for the future).
