Built precisely to scale from premium hardwoods such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany, each model is individually hand-built using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method – the same approach used in real shipbuilding. Completing a single model requires hundreds of hours of skilled craftsmanship and must pass a strict quality control process before leaving the workshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painted finish faithfully reflects the Earnslaw’s distinctive appearance, featuring a white and deep red hull, a central steam funnel, deck cranes, lifeboats, rigging details, and finely crafted railings. The enclosed passenger deck, authentic superstructure layout, and national flag add historical accuracy, all elegantly mounted on a solid wooden base with brass nameplate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA timeless display piece, perfect for home decor, offices, executive spaces, maritime collections, or as a distinguished gift for ship enthusiasts and history lovers alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe TSS Earnslaw is a historic steamship launched in 1912 to serve the remote communities around Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. Built in Dunedin and assembled on-site, the vessel transported passengers, livestock, and cargo. Its twin-screw design and coal-fired engines made it one of the most advanced lake steamers of its era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver time, the Earnslaw shifted from a working transport ship to a celebrated heritage vessel. Restored in the late 20th century, it now operates as a popular tourist attraction, offering scenic cruises while preserving its original steam engines. Known as the “Lady of the Lake,” the Earnslaw remains an enduring symbol of New Zealand’s maritime history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OMHVN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51455918014777,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"VND","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/0754\/9241\/files\/C139-Earnslaw-Painted-L01.jpg?v=1765876880","url":"https:\/\/omhvn.myshopify.com\/products\/c139-earnslaw-painted","provider":"OMHVN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
