Fortune-class 36 inches Tugboat Model

Fortune-class Tugboat – 36-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Own a handcrafted replica of one of the maritime industry's most dependable working vessels. The Fortune-class Tugboat is designed to provide the power, maneuverability, and reliability required to assist large ships in busy harbors, coastal waterways, and commercial ports. From escorting oceangoing vessels to docking operations and towing assignments, tugboats play an indispensable role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of maritime traffic. Renowned for their rugged construction and exceptional performance, Fortune-class tugboats embody the strength and precision of modern harbor operations.

Our 36-inch handcrafted Fortune-class Tugboat 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 tugboat's robust hull and elevated wheelhouse to the towing winch, fendering system, deck equipment, radar mast, railings, navigation lights, and other signature features that define a modern harbor tug. 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 Fortune-class Tugboat's powerful profile, detailed working deck, and realistic harbor vessel features to stand out more prominently, making it an impressive centerpiece for an office, study, display cabinet, or dedicated collection room. Ideal for maritime professionals, tugboat crews, collectors, and enthusiasts of commercial shipping, 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 hardworking vessels that keep ports operating safely and efficiently.

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
