This ship is in the window of my shop, TREASURE ISLAND ANTIQUES, 143 Main Street, Bellport, New York.  I have been in the antique business for over 22 years.  If you have any questions about this item, please get in touch with me at 631-286-8503. I can deliver the ship within a 200-300 miles for an agreed upon fee.   Place a Bid!
