Surprisingly life like, our Nauticalia's Ship's Cats are made from the pelts of rabbits as a by-product of sustenance food production and their realistic forms are modelled from pre-shaped card and extruded plastic that is covered with pelts.
There are 4 Ship's cats, each inspired by a true life original.
Mrs Chippy - the tiger striped tabby from Shackleton's ship Endurance
Ginger Freddy - the famous shipwrecked cat from the SS Hawkesdale
Able Seaman Simon - the black and white mascot of HMS Amethyst
Trim - who sailed with Matthew Flinders on his ship Tryall
On the base of each model is the story, fully researched and authenticated, which makes each cat exceptional.
