About the Astrolabe
Launched in 1781, the Astrolabe was a converted flute of the French Navy, most notable for her travels with Jean-Francois de Galaup. In 1785, she and her sister ship were re-rated as frigates to be used for global scientific exploration. This fantastic kit will allow you to recreate a stunning piece of French naval history.
