"There is hope for the future. When the world is ready for a new and better life, all this will someday come to pass, in God's good time." - Captain Nemo, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

In Walt Disney's 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo roamed the sea in the Nautilus in search of ships of war. Struggling against his inner conflict between good and evil, Nemo hunted and destroyed ships laden with ammunitions, which he knew would be used against his fellow man. In this noble but misguided desire to rid man of the tools of war, a badly wounded Captain and his incredible submarine vanished beneath the waves, apparently claimed by the very sea he loved.

The Nautilus is a true science fiction icon. Master Replicas and the Walt Disney Showcase Collection are proud to present a stunning example of the Nautilus. This is the world's most detailed replica of Nemo's magnificent submarine in this scale. Accurate to the smallest detail, with over 19,000 rivets, a removable skiff, and a detailed wheelhouse interior, she is truly a work of art.

Master Replicas would like to thank Scott Brodeen of HMS (Hand Props, Miniatures, and Set Pieces) for his excellent craftsmanship and Theo Wilhelm for his valuable insight into the Nautilus. Both are true fans of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the Nautilus herself.

Master Replicas and the Walt Disney Showcase Collection proudly offer this limited edition and COA of the Nautilus.
