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

Higher quality then I expect, very satisfied
Color: Gray
High quality overall, very high powered. It looks really fancy and elegant. The adjustable speed knob on the top is really great. The stand looks really nice but isn't the best design because it is easy to knock over when you take it out, that's my only issue with it.

Almost blew up my microwave
Size: 20 Ounces, Size: 20 Ounces
TL;DR "A hilarious microwave mistake turned into a great home cafe upgrade. This 20oz cup is straightforward to handle, looks incredibly professional, and holds a level of heat that will literally burn you if you aren't careful." . Bought this for homemade coffee brewing, just to spice things up. But as I go ahead to heat up my new shiny stainless steel milk frother cup in the microwave, whoopdy doo. Ya can’t put stainless in the microwave! Regardless, it’s still a straightforward frother cup to handle, making it a great dollar investment for upgrading my home cafe setup. . 1. Spotless Stainless Steel: Its sleek appearance made me feel professional in the hands of an amateur like moi. Great quality! 2. Temperature Retention: I accidentally burnt myself because it stayed so hot, but that is a major positive. Proving the insulation works perfectly and keeps the milk piping hot. 3. Size: The 20oz capacity is accurate, providing the perfect amount of space for frothing without any overflow.
