In your case, you might need to right-click the image you want to link, choose "copy image location", and then paste this between the [img] tags.

Thanks Chris

I don't use photobucket or similar

Life is too short

I think I will stick to using my blog

What does the writing on the blue card say?

Hachette (French publisher?) did a series that had boats, can't remember the title.

as to the galley - the reconstruction of antique vessels is a tricky thing. there is very little evidence of oared boats, since these did not sink when the hull was damaged
the model looks like a an antique image of a phoenician vessel of the preclassic era


reconstructions usually go after pictorial evidence like in this case.
there is a voluminous tome on this matter, the title slips my mind right now
there are many recovered from rivers, but these are not sea-going specimens.
there was also an experimental reconstruction of a classical athenian trireme in the 70ies, well researched and published



but these are not the droids You are looking for

The inscription on the stand reads "Imbarcazione Fenicia", and that's the best starting point, I'd say. It is thus definitely a model of a Phoenician ship. And these models in particular seem to be sold under the label of "Nauticalia Tribute Models" or some such. They appear to be OOP, though.

Here's a link to an ebay auction – not mine, of course, just for reference.

Hadn't considered Nauticalia.

Seem to recall that they had a shop in Chester or Edinburgh?
Had an assortment of reduced things last time I was in but the reduced ships were just 3 masters

At that size they may be suited to converting to 28mm river boats as used by the Romans on the Rhine river frontier.
