It is often the case that when friends are celebrating a festive occasion or have just been a good friend then offering a gift is fitting. A nautical theme decor gift is suitable if there is an interest in maritime articles. The selection is interesting, eclectic and varied. You may be a collector and also be interested in these articles.
Whatever area you consider decorating you can be sure it will bring the ocean to your environment. You may want to display your model in your home or office. Perhaps your interest lies in model ships. Some are made of museum quality wood and are really works of art. Some are handcrafted a piece at a time and are built, as the real ones are, to last. Some of these ships sit on a base of marble to add to the quality.
There are so many ships to choose from such as the USS Constitution or a reproduction of the Titanic. You could place these in a very special area for everyone to see. Models of the tall ships with stunning sails or the celebrated Mayflower would also warrant a place of honor. The fireplace mantle would look wonderful with the H. M. S. Bounty or, if you were a fan of Columbus, then the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria are perfect. Mississippi riverboats are reminders of an exciting era and so too are the Chinese Junks or Sampan fishing boats.
If you like adventure then you may want to purchase a Caribbean pirate model for yourself. You can choose from a model of a generic pirate ship or the Flying Dutchman. You may be interested in having a model of the ship that belonged to Captain Kidd or Calico Jack to add to your nautical home decorating.
You can also find clippers, schooners like the Bluenose Fishing schooner, and Viking models with their dragon head and peppermint sails. There are not only historical models for your friends or for your collection. Modern day ships can also be purchased.
There is a series of designs for the America Cup. This series includes the Enterprise, Ranger, Defender, and the Columbia. This is perfect for those America Cup aficionados.
Also available are modern boats such as a yacht, dory, whaler, fishing boat, or a lobster boat. Cruisers, speedboats, and even models of Coast Guard cutters and icebreakers can be found. A Trident or Los Angeles Class submarine, the USS Nimitz or the USS Harry S. Truman can also be purchased.
If model ships are not what you were looking for as a gift or for your collection then you have an incredible variety of other choices. There are many different bells that you can buy such as a lanyard bell, cast brass bells, or anchor bells. The figureheads of ships were originally important to ensure a safe journey and to calm the Gods. Reproductions of these come in many forms such as an Indian princess, a Polynesian maiden, and we cannot forget the ever-popular mermaid. These could certainly enhance your model ship collection.
