MANTUA MODEL 754 - GORCH FOCK Ladder 1:90 Length: 980mm Gorch Fock was a three-masted steel-hulled sailing ship used as a training ship by the Kriegsmarine, the German Navy. It entered service in 1933. The name derives from the pseudonym of the German writer Johann Kinau, who signed himself Gorch Fock. In 1958, her sister ship, Gorch Fock II, entered service. The ship was designed in the wake of a serious accident, which occurred to another Kriegsmarine training ship, the Segelschulschiff Niobe, which capsized in the Baltic in 1932 due to a gust of wind, killing 69 crew members. The ship entered service carrying out training cruises until the outbreak of the Second World War, was then used as an office from 1942 in Stralsund and finally scuttled, under land-based tank fire, to avoid capture by the Soviets. Retrieved from them in 1947 at a cost of 800,000 marks, she was restored from 1948 to 1950 and put into service as a training ship of the Soviet Navy with the name Tovarish (товарищ) and based in Odessa. Passed to Ukraine after 1991 and the dissolution of the USSR, she remained in service until 1993, when she was decommissioned due to lack of funds for maintenance.She was then sold to a private company who wanted to restore her in Newcastle upon Tyne, but gave up the undertaking due to the considerable costs and the ship was brought back to Wilhelmshaven where she remained in drydock for four years for work and was finally put back into service as a museum ship, renaming her with name of Gorch Foch I. Consequently the new training ship was designed with a high intrinsic stability, which included 200 tons of steel ballast capable of righting the ship even after a 90° heeling. The kit includes laser cut framesrods, accessories in cast metaldetails in wood, hemp, flags, detailed drawings in various tables and assembly instructions.Gorch Fock was a three-masted steel-hulled sailing ship used as a training ship by the Kriegsmarine, the German Navy.
