Robert E. Lee

Kit by Amati

The Robert E. Lee was a Mississippi River steamboat built in 1866 that carried passengers and cotton between New Orleans and St. Louis and won the 1870 race against the Natchez.

Amati's 1:150 kit has a pre-built wooden hull with laser-cut decks and superstructure. Wooden deck planking, wood paneling and photo-etched brass railings are supplied.
