    Do you mean these types of boats?
    These came from here
    these are the traditional plank on frame kits.

    There is another place in Dublin that does pre-made period sailing ships. It's the antique place at end of Dawson Street and Nassau Street but I can't remember the name. Needle to Anchor I thinkl. But those ones usually are carved and have a solid hull.
