About MeThis model was made after the Thermopylae had had its masts shortened, its rig changed, and also had been sold onto the Portugese Navy and renamed Pedro Nunes.
Despite this It shows Thermopylae as it was during its days with the Aberdeen Line, and at the time it 'competed' against the Cutty Sark in the tea races from China.
