I’m not sure that in Croatia exists another workshop which manufacture unique and authentic ship models and related maritime souvenirs (compasses,tables with knots, etc.).
That fact, but mostly love for wooden ships and tradition of sailing in this parts, had occupied me and I began to make (long forgotten) ships alive.
Reading and learning from many books, consulting with older/other people who are “living books”, who did see this part of history, original ship plans and other interesting things helped me with making those ships alive and to make them just like originals.
In my workshop/museum you can order unique souvenirs:
half models, knot tables, nautical clip art, ships in the bottles, rope key rings, etc.
You can see permanent exhibition of my work and learn about maritime history.
