This deep-sea exploratory design can be enjoyed by marine researchers of any ages. No matter how little your interest in deep-sea exploration is, this vessel can stimulate your interest and offer much entertainment.

This nautical design is similar to timeless scientific documentaries and historical bios of brave marine explorers. Although tinged with past marine wonders, the Research Vessel is a formidable design of the giant icebreakers and study boats sailing across the oceans today. Your brand-new boat is equipped with everything you need to execute sound oceanic research study: a bathyscaphe for deep-sea exploration, a small motorboat for small trips, a lifeboat for emergency situations, a drop ramp, an opening hold hatch, and numerous other important aspects found in real-life sea vessels. This design likewise includes a swing jib crane that can handle cargo for your hold hatch and hoist your bathyscaphe from your vessel.

All parts of the Research Vessel are made from premium environmentally friendly plywood that is pre-cut with laser precision. No additional tools or glue is required to develop this nautical monster. Embarking on the fun assembly of this vessel will be really rewarding. The “skeleton” design of the Vessel's body allows the hold and engine space to be noticeable from the exterior. You will be able to view how she can power through large oceans. The mechanical energy driving the design is produced by a rubber-band motor mechanism and managed by a pendulum. This vessel even mimics the noises of a diesel motor created by a creative internal equipment arrangement.

The equipment system likewise allows the vessel to move at a smooth and stately speed. Moreover, this mechanical ship design has three practical movement modes – forward, turn, and automated maneuvering. These modes are controlled by a manual lever that you can change as you captain your vessel through intrepid sea experiences. Do not hesitate to create “ice” barriers or deep-sea “creatures” for your vessel to find – this design can definitely handle the job. By activating the wind-up mechanism, you get the opportunity to see this vessel in action as it carries on its own. Both its amusing function and beautiful kind make this Research Vessel a marvel to behold and a decorative pleasure for your office or home. 

The ocean is calling you to reveal its strange dark depths. Smell the appetizing salt, feel the brisk winds, and cover numerous nautical knots. Be the next courageous sea captain of the UGears Research Vessel!
