A highly detailed wooden model kit of the San Juan Nepomucenu by Artesania Latina.
A 2,700 ton vessel, with 74 cannons, the San Juan Nepomucenu was launched in 1756 and represents a wonderful example of the Spanish sailor’s heroism and bravery. Commanded by Admiral Cosme Damian Churruca, the San Juan Nepomuceno fought at the Battle of Trafalgar and won glory through suffering and death. Admiral Nelson, mortally wounded, continued directing the battle, while Admiral Churruca, whose leg had been shot off with a cannonball, continued commanding his ship, ordering FIRE!
