The USS President was one of the "super-frigates" commissioned by the U.S. Congress, causing the British some headaches in the war of 1812. On the 15th of January 1815 the USS President was captured by the British, who were impressed enough to build a replica retaining the name 'President'.

The model shown here has the yards in the raised position since it will carry sails, however you may prefer no sails and the yards can be in lowered storm or rest position.

3D-CAD model of the USS President's Hull shown above. You may notice the subtle weathering of hull, deck and sails. Even though there is evidence the gunport lids may have been completely removed at some point, the model here has lids mounted on the gundeck.
