Classic Metal Models
Not nautical, but we couldn’t resist these all-metal models of classic icons.
More details »Historic
As an island nation, much of our history is intrinsically linked to the sea and, in the days of sail, Britain was a maritime superpower and trading hub. Here we celebrate the icons of this history with oak & copper from HMS Victory, replica scrimshaw artefacts, cannon, lighthouses, and intrepid ships’ cats.

Ships’ Cats in War & Peace Book
This new edition of Val Lewis’ best-selling book has been revised and expanded with the help of many old sailors who love to tell their tale of a ship’s cat – from war or peace, history or legend, ocean or canal.
More details »Replica Military Swords
The days when swords were used in battle may be long past, but Her Majesty’s Navy still demands the very finest standards for those worn by its officers on ceremonial occasions; they cost £1,000 each.
In these intricately-detailed 1:3 scale (approximately) replicas the hilt, backplate and pommel are gold-plated alloy castings, and the blade is stainless steel. They are beautifully crafted – truly remarkable value – and also have a practical use as a very effective letter opener.
More details »Scrimshaw
Originally, Scrimshaw was made by whaling ship crews during the long voyages to and from the hunting grounds. They carved the most intricate of objects from whales’ teeth and bones, and illustrated them with black-dyed engraved pictures.
More details »HMS Victory Oak & Copper
During her 240 year life, HMS Victory has undergone several major refits, the latest being in the early 1990s in preparation for the 2005 bicentenary celebrations. As old weakened timbers were replaced some of them were salvaged and later acquired by Nauticalia.
More details »Traditional Tankards
Our tankards are traditionally made in Sheffield, from rolled pewter sheets. This process allows a much finer level of detail and quality than most other modern (cast) products made overseas. The massive tooling required is now more than 100 years old and would not be economically viable to produce today – this truly is “old fashioned British craftsmanship”.
