Length / Länge : 1060 mm

The Amsterdam was built in 1971 in Hamburg at the Johan Alkers Shipyard. Her owners were Wijsmuller of Amsterdam.
The full size Amsterdam is no more: Wrecked in 1986 when the towing hawser fouled the prop in heavy weather, damaging both prop and gearbox, the Amsterdam was beached and sold for scrap.

This model is the second version to be issued by Artesania Latina: the original produced in the 1980's featured a plank on frame hull.
This version, to the same scale of 1:50 features an ABS hull, so construction time is considerably reduced.
The kit is supplied in a cardboard box, complete with several colour photos of the finished model taken from various angles which are a great help during construction.
