Three friends who loved sailing and the craft of making model sailboats started doing just that over 25 years ago. Today, their model ships are shipped around the world, their reputation one that has sailed across oceans and into the living rooms of presidents and prime ministers, into the hands of the King of Sweden and the Duke and Duchess of York. Producing 1,200 ship models annually, Historic Marine is about quality, historical accuracy, and all that is uniquely Mauritius.
