Older Majestic Plank-on-Frame Ships
The Majestic Series ships are constructed of ash planking on plywood framing supported by an oak, ash or mahogany keels. Majestic Series ship art pieces live up to their namesake. These ships vary from 24 inches to 60 inches in length, with similar heights, and are more historically representative. Majestic Series ships took many hundreds to thousands of hours to make. Very few of the Majestic Series ships were ever be made in John's lifetime.New Generation of Majestic Plank-on-Frame Ships
As with the Fantasy Series ships, newer Majestic Series ships' rigging designs were built with brass rods and tubing. All ships also have billowed, heat/chemically treated copper sails. Pictured below are "new generation" Circa 1600 Galleon and Late 15th Century Carrack.
Display Cases
Majestic Series ships were not accompanied with display cases. For these largest ships, such as the 17th Century Dutch Flute shown on this website (nearly 5' X 5' X 2'), John determined that a ship would be best served by a professional cabinet maker for any display case needs.
