NEW! "C.S.S.
DAVID" October 5th, 1863, The world's first use of a
fast attack torpedo boat when the Confederacy unleashed the S.S. David upon
the Union Ironclad U.S.S. New Ironsides just outside the entrance to
Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. Although the new Ironsides failed
to sink the David inflicted enough damage with her spar torpedo to lay the
ship in dry dock until the end of the Civil War. Not for small children as
lots of the parts are very small and easily swallowed by small children.

"THE CONFEDERATE SUBMARINE C.S.S. PIONEER" Built by
Horace L. Hunley in New Orleans near the beginning of the Civil War for use against the
Federal blockade. Her design was very successful in trials. When the city fell to Union
assault, the sub had to be scuttled in a canal, while Hunley moved to Mobile to begin work
on the submarine H.L. HUNLEY. The PIONEER was later discovered by the Union and pulled out
of the canal. It rotted for ten years until sold for scrap. Easy to build,
about a dozen pieces, good way to get into resin model kit construction. Scale: 1/32nd.
Approx. 13" long overall. # 32-004
$89.95
