| In 1812, America's Navy was almost non-existent. Based out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Lynx was pressed into privateer service to defend the American coast run blockades against the British Navy. Today, she's been rebuilt by the Historical Watercraft Society as an educational vessel teaching tall ship battle tactics. In fact, you can book passage on one of her 3 hour live fire battles with cannon blazing from two or more tall ships! This impressive Lynx replica is crafted using authentic plank on frame construction by master ship builders. Inspect the nail holes in the deck, solid brass cannon and lattice grates. The taut rigging and actual canvas sails illustrate the painstaking attention to detail used on this museum quality reproduction. |
