The history of NEMESIS MODEL SHIP
Flash back to late 1840, this vintage and classic Nemesis ship model reminds you of its arrive off the coast of China although when she set sail from Liverpool it was publicly intimated that she was bound for Odessa to keep the voyage a secret. Bringing the history vibe home with our historical gunboat, longboat and battle ship model collections.
Nemesis was England’s first ocean-going iron warship. Launched in 1839, the Nemesis was deployed to China where she served during the First Opium War under Captains William Hutcheon Hall and Richard Collinson. Armed with two pivot-mounted 32-pounder and four 6-pounder guns, her shallow draught and watertight bulkheads made her a formidable foe. In later years, Nemesis toured Indonesia and the Philippines where she worked to suppress pirates. Referred to by the Chinese as the “devil ship”, Nemesis was a force to be reckoned with indeed.
