The tragic tale of the
final voyage of the Turbo-Electric Liner Morro Castle is
known by many, but few know much else about this beautiful liner
and her sister, the Oriente. In fact, images of the liner
aground at Asbury Park abound but pre-disaster photographs are,
curiously, rather scarce. Regardless, we have been able to obtain
sufficient data and information, the drafting phase is complete
and construction of the prototype (available) has begun.
Additional examples, as well as models of her sister ship, the Oriente,
may be built on a commission basis. Call
or email models@cabinclass.com
