En noviembre de 1820 el hundimiento del barco ballenero Essex y la supervivencia de parte de su tripulación, conmovió a los EE.UU. Un año antes había zarpado de Nantucket, iniciando una nueva campaña de caza de ballenas que debía durar dos años y medio por el Pacífico Sur.
Capitaneado por el capitán George Pollard, el barco ballenero Essex fue atacado por una gran ballena, embistiéndolo en varias ocasiones hasta hacerlo naufragar a 3.700 km de las costas de América del Sur. De los 21 miembros de la tripulación sólo fueron rescatados ocho.
Herman Melville se inspiró en este trágico naufragio para escribir Moby Dick, una de las grandes obras de la literatura universal. El título de la obra se tomó del nombre de una ballena real: "Mocha Dick", que fue avistada en el siglo XIX cerca de la isla Mocha, al sur de Chile.

Es la primera vez que compro con Occre y la experiencia es completamente satisfactoria. La atención es personalizada y las maquetas vienen con una guía muy completa para no detenerte. Estoy pensando muy seriamente en quedarme con Occre para todos mis proyectos futuros.
Toute première maquette de bateau en bois, je suis vraiment ravi de cette expérience avec un kit de toute première qualité, et le service client Occre du même niveau de qualité que leurs produits. Voilà qui tronera sur mon salon avant la prochaine :)
Petit à petit la baleinière avence, bientôt elle pourra naviguer...
Taking my time
Ich habe noch nicht mit der Essex angefangen, da ich noch mit der Gorch Fock von OcCre beschäftigt bin. Der Bausatz hat die gleiche Qualität wie man sie von OcCre erwartet und kennt. Immer wieder gerne.
First planking done
Modello suggestivo e divertente. Fosse stato un po' più grande sarebbe stato perfetto perché ho qualche problema a vedere oggetti piccoli. Un saluto a tutti.
Store owner replied: Ciao Renzo, Grazie mille per il tuo commento! Siamo felici che il modello dell'Essex ti piaccia e ti diverta. Comprendiamo la difficoltà con i dettagli piccoli; è un aspetto comune nel modellismo navale. Speriamo che, nonostante ciò, tu possa goderti molto la costruzione. Un caro saluto a te e buon lavoro!
:) Awaiting its turn to get to the shipyard
Store owner replied: Thank you for your review, Ionut! We’re glad to hear you’re excited to start the Essex model. We’re sure it’ll be a great project when it’s your turn to get it to the shipyard. Enjoy the journey, and feel free to reach out if you need any assistance along the way! Happy building!
I am enjoying the model; however, I did not receive near enough 0.5 mm brown thread. I have had to order more brown thread twice. Instructions and videos are very good.
In costruzione....
Aprendiendo con cada modelo
Sehr gute Verarbeitung und Anleitung. Macht sehr viel Spaß beim bauen.
Superbe maquette la notice est pour le moment très claire
I bought this kit after reading “In the Heart of the Sea,” the true story of the Essex whaling vessel which was sunk by a Sperm Whale. Another fantastic kit by OcCre. Two aspects I love about their kits are the quality of not just the wood products, but the cast parts and metal. Very little flash to remove and nice details. The other are the instructions. Nice, color photos to show how to assemble as well as YouTube videos to help along the way. I will definitely be buying more kits!
sehr schönes Schiff mein laufendes Projekt
Aunque esté considerado de nivel medio, no me ha parecido sencilla la construcción de este modelo. He disfrutado muchísimo.
Hoi, Mijn naam is Hans, kom uit Nederland. Ik heb het bouwen van de Whaler Essex zojuist afgerond en heb er erg veel plezier aan beleeft. Het was mijn 5e schip van Occre dat ik gebouwd heb. Het was een uitdagend schip om te bouwen. De instructies en de U-tube filmpjes waren echter zeer duidelijk zoals ook de life time garantie op onderdelen. Ik ben nu bezig met de Bounty. Groetjes Hans.
WIP. good ship
going nicely for now

I'm not far enough along with the Essex to share a photo, but I completed the HMS Beagle earlier this year and included a photo of that one. If the Essex is anywhere near the quality the the Beagle model, it will be awesome. Your models are truly near exact replicas of the real thing. Videos are very helpful and I had very few issues in construction of the Beagle. I'll come back with more when I complete the Essex.
Store owner replied: Hi Richard. Thank you very much for sharing your opinion with the rest of the users. Your opinions are very valuable for the modelers who can get an idea of the product, and for us, because it helps us to improve day by day. We are very happy that the model has met your expectations.
this is the 3rd occre kit that I have done, the others were the aurora and titanic. The Essex is still in its early stages. Your kits are good quality, and directions are mostly well done, I like the fact that if the printed directions are a little ambiguous you can go to the video for clarifications. Wish list, would like to see more of the great liners and various ocean freighters. regards Doug Inniss

Terzo modello OCCRE completato e come sempre ottima qualità. Solo un appunto, il numero di pulegge presenti nel kit non era sufficiente per completare il modello e ho dovuto usare avanzi di modelli precedenti. Per il resto un modello impegnativo e di grande effetto.
Es la cuarta maqueta de barcos que hago, las dos últimas son de Ocre, mi habilitad ha mejorado con cada una de ellas, lo mas útil segun mi experiencia son las instrucciones apoyadas por multitud de videos, pienso seguir , y con modelos mas sofisticados
Mon cadeaux de Noël.
This is a fantastic kit. Even if you are new to wooden ship building, Occre makes it less overwhelming and less complicated. The instruction book and the companion YouTube video series take all the heavy guesswork out of it. If you make an error, Occre will help you with replacement wood. When they say it is guaranteed, they mean it.
Muy buenos días y feliz año nuevo. La maqueta Essex es mi primero barco para hacer. Me encantan los materiales, el sortido de las maderas, la calidad y los instructiones estan facil de entender, especialmente con los pelis de paso a paso en youtube. Es un gran reto para mi pero me gusta un monoton. Muchas gracias OcCre por un servicio exceptional.
Todo correcto.
Ich konnte nur die materialien in der Verpackung begutachten, ich bin in Verzug mit em Lernen beim Zusammenbau des Albatross
all good...only thing i am not fond of is your threads....bit too hairy...prefer "other" comapny's
Overall, very happy.
Model is fine. Instructions are good except when they omit a line or step. I would suggest that you make sire that people who order from you to the US understand that they are now subject to Fedex import duty charges. This did not happen with my last model (the Beagle), but I imagine with a kit as large as your new limited edition surprise charges appearing weeks after arrival of the kit may be unsettling
Easy to build with all the videos
Estou satisfeito com o kit As tintas também me satisfaz Um abraço
Store owner replied: Obrigado pelo seu comentário, Jorge! Fico feliz que esteja satisfeito com o kit e com as tintas. Se precisar de qualquer ajuda durante o processo de construção, não hesite em nos contactar. Um abraço! 😊
Extra, Detale są dokładne. Piękny model.
Great deal
Estoy empezando con el, por el momento muy bien, sobre todo los vídeos de montaje
Toujours passionnant d’associer l’histoire et le plaisir de construire 😉
Una maqueta excelente
Ya os contaré cuando lo haga aún tengo faena atrasada
Schnelle Lieferung und ein toller Zeitvertreib
