Ten years ago, a unique museum of sailing ships opened in Riga—a place where each model tells its own story of the sea, freedom, and true craftsmanship. Visitors walked inside, stood in awe, and asked the same question again and again: "Why isn't something so beautiful on display in the heart of Paris, London, or Rome?"

Later, the collection moved to Valencia, Spain. Here, in the birthplace of the great traditions of ship modeling, it truly came to life and shone even brighter. These models are truly high art: even a model assembled from a kit requires at least three years of painstaking work and around 12,000 tiny, intricate parts... while completely custom-made masterpieces, created from scratch, are crafted by only a few masters worldwide.

Today, the museum does not have a permanent location, and the exhibition remains closed because we have not yet found the patrons necessary for its prosperity. That's why I've made the difficult but sincere decision to place several of my most special ships in caring hands.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, or know someone who might be interested in the collection, or a place where our models could find a new home, we'd be grateful.
