Overseas Santorini 36 inches Tanker Model

Overseas Santorini Tanker – 36-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Own a handcrafted replica of one of the modern maritime industry's distinguished product tankers. The Overseas Santorini is part of the respected Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) fleet, designed to transport refined petroleum products safely and efficiently across vital coastal and international shipping routes. Built to meet the rigorous standards of today's commercial shipping industry, the vessel represents the reliability, engineering excellence, and operational efficiency that keep global trade moving every day.

Our 36-inch handcrafted Overseas Santorini Tanker model faithfully captures the distinctive appearance of the original vessel. Each model is individually built by experienced craftsmen using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method—the same principle used in real wooden shipbuilding. We select only premium hardwoods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany, to ensure exceptional durability, refined craftsmanship, and a timeless museum-quality finish.

Every element is carefully recreated, from the vessel's streamlined hull and detailed superstructure to the navigation bridge, cargo piping system, deck equipment, radar mast, lifeboats, cranes, and other signature features that define a modern petroleum tanker. Rather than being mass-produced, each model is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a display piece worthy of any maritime collection, executive office, or nautical showcase.

The 36-inch model offers a larger, more commanding display while showcasing an even greater level of craftsmanship and detail. Its increased size allows the Overseas Santorini's elegant hull lines, intricate deck equipment, and realistic commercial vessel features to stand out more prominently, making it an impressive centerpiece for an office, study, display cabinet, maritime museum, or private collection. Ideal for maritime professionals, shipping executives, collectors, and commercial shipping enthusiasts, the 36-inch version provides a stronger visual presence and enhanced realism while remaining practical enough for most display spaces. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a substantial museum-quality replica that celebrates the importance of modern ocean transportation.

Each piece is individually handcrafted, and production typically takes 3–6 months, depending on the model's size and complexity. Throughout the process, we'll keep you updated with detailed progress photos at every major milestone, allowing you to review the craftsmanship and approve each stage before we move forward.

You'll receive photos during:

- Hull construction
- Deck detailing and superstructure assembly
- Final painting and finishing

Your satisfaction comes first. We proceed to the next stage only after you've reviewed the previous one.
