Syren US Brig 1803

Kit by Model Shipways

Syren was a United States Navy brig built in 1803 that served in the Mediterranean during the war with Tripoli.

The 1:64 kit, designed by Chuck Passaro, has a laser-cut basswood keel and bulkheads planked with basswood strips and plated with copper tape. It carries sixteen cast carronades and two long guns, and the ship's longboat is a small kit of its own.
