Hey everyone,
Joined the forum looking for information. I understand I am new here and do not have any other posts so you don't know if you can trust me or not but all I can do is ask. A while back a one of my shipmates (I am a US Navy Submarine Veteran) passed. We say he went on eternal patrol. Anyway, I was entrusted with 2 model ships from him with the intention to sell and then have the proceeds go directly to the USSVI Charitable Foundation. I really have no idea the value or best way to sell or find appropriate buyers for these ships. One is on a stand and has a name Fragata Espanola 1780. There is a paper tag on it indicating it was purchased in Spain in the 70's and it was made by prisoners and sold in the streets there. The other is in a glass case about 3' long and 3' high. By google searches I think it might be a whaler? Charles Morgan? It is not in the best of shape and certainly needs some care and attention. If anyone can help me figure out a direction to go with this or has any info at all on these 2 ships please reply or PM me. I read the note about sharing emails so after PMing maybe we can email or phone. I assure you I am not trying to make a penny off this and only want to find a good home and get whatever value these might be worth. I am going to try to attach a couple pictures. Thank You
