Andrea Gail Fisherman Rc Model Ship Kit 1:30 wood

Andrea Gail RC model wooden kit from Billing Boats

History of the original:

The Andrea Gail was a commercial fishing boat that left the port of Gloucester, Massachusetts, on 20 September 1991. The 6 sailors on board wanted to catch swordfish off Newfoundland. They never returned. It was assumed that the boat sank in a huge storm, which meteorologists called the "Perfect Storm". This was the basis for the best-selling novel of the same name, which was also made into a Hollywood film (The Storm).
