The Mermaid is a wonderful example of the early whaleships that visited Maui in the nineteenth century. She was made totally from scratch by marine architect Andrew Anderson Wall while he was living here on the island. It took around one thousand hours of work, including individual copper plates over hand made planking, custom made copper try work ovens, complex donkey engine, hand made whaling harpoons and many, many other features.
This exquisitely rigged and authentic whaler is 30" long and can be had
for $4500.
