SKU: ART-20506 | Brand: Artesania Latina | Product: Artesania 1/50 Marina II Fishing Boat Wooden Ship Model [20506] Artesania 20506 presents the Marina II, a Spanish fishing vessel from the Cantabrian region at 1:50 wooden scale model. THE MARINA II: CANTABRIAN TUNA FISHING VESSEL This wooden model represents a traditional Spanish tuna boat historically engaged in bonito and allied species fishing operations. Seasonal bonito migrations made summer months the primary fishing period, with winter operations redirected toward other species and geographic areas following established migration patterns across Mediterranean waters, from the Strait of Gibraltar eastward to the Alboran Sea. Fishing methodology employed troll and live-bait techniques. Live bait capture and maintenance occurred aboard the vessel using small seine nets, with catch specimens preserved in dedicated holding tanks. This self-contained supply system allowed extended fishing operations without dependency on external bait sourcing. The kit provides wooden and metal components, threads, and detailed fittings required for 1:50 scale assembly. Numerous construction details characterize the model, rendering a faithful miniature representation of the historical vessel. Assembly is recommended for modelers with intermediate to advanced experience levels.
