For hundreds of years tall sailing ships plowed the high seas of the known world.  Most of them were traders and cargo vessels carrying goods and a few passengers from one country to another.  This was the commerce in those days that brought nations and cultures together.   Some of them were pirates who plundered and stole from the wealthy merchant ships and some were warships designed to protect that commerce and the countries they represented, but most of them were just honest sailors making a living on the high seas.  These ships were manned by hearty young sailors and commanders whose legends extend to us to the present and have left us the romance of those times.  "Give me a tall ship and a star to guide me".   Robin's Dockside Shop has acquired a supply of finely crafted models of the more famous of those ships and they are displayed below.  These models are museum quality and only about 250 of each of them has or shall be constructed.   Order yours while they are still available.  Once they are gone there may not be more made of this quality.  We also have some great sailboat models as well.   See our new Large Schooner , "Pruessen" and Pirate sailing ships.

Happy Sailing.  - Robins Dockside Shop
