Build the oldest surviving American fighting vessel
Launched in August 1776, the Gunboat Philadelphia is the oldest American fighting vessel in existence—a rare survivor of the Revolutionary War.
She served in the small American fleet commanded by Benedict Arnold on Lake Champlain and went down in battle on October 11, 1776, during the Battle of Valcour Island against the Royal Navy. The remarkable part? She settled upright in the cold lake water and remained there until she was raised in 1935.
Today, the original Philadelphia is on permanent display at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.—still bearing the story of the hit that sank her (including a 24-pound cannonball associated with her loss).
A Ship That Matters
Philadelphia and her sister craft were hurriedly assembled into what many historians consider the first American Navy. Their mission was clear: defend the Lake Champlain corridor—one of the strategic gateways that could determine the success or failure of the American Revolution.
These “gundalos” (also called gondolas) were purpose-built for shallow water. Although equipped with a square sail and topsail on one mast, she was mostly powered by oars (sweeps) for maneuverability where larger vessels couldn’t go
The Philadelphia carried serious punch for her size: one 12-pounder, two 9-pounders, and swivel guns
The Model Shipways Kit
This kit offers a unique, satisfying build—and it’s more approachable than many larger warships thanks to CAD-assisted, laser-cut basswood parts (multiple thicknesses from 3/32" to 1/8"). Fine basswood is also used for hull and deck planking.
A standout feature: the hull is planked inside and out—an unusual detail that makes the build especially rewarding and authentic.

Great Natural Chew Dogs Love, but Can Be a Bit Messy
Pattern Name: Half Ears, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
These pig ears are a big hit with dogs and keep them busy for a good while. They’re made from a single ingredient, which is a nice plus if you’re looking for something more natural.
They help with chewing and can support dental health by reducing plaque while your dog works on them.
That said, they can be a little greasy and have a smell, which is pretty normal for pig ears. Also, they may not last as long for heavy chewers.
Overall, a tasty and natural treat most dogs will love, just expect a little mess.

Large and fresh
Pattern Name: Full Ears, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1), Pattern Name: Full Ears, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the next best thing from Costco’s pig ears that aren’t always around. Of course these are twice as much from Costco but mine doesn’t have them in stock right now. These ears are great! They are whole ears that are not stale or old. The bag says it’s bio-based and that it’s made out of sugar cane. My pit bull and Dogo recommend these!
