OcCre Gjøa – wooden ship model kit with genuine polar history
OcCre Gjøa is a 1/45 scale wooden model kit representing the Norwegian polar vessel that completed the first-ever transit of the Northwest Passage. The model recreates the small fishing and sealing sloop Roald Amundsen used between 1903 and 1906, making it a strong fit for assortments focused on wooden model kits, ship models and creative hobby products.
Gjøa is especially relevant for retailers who want a model with real narrative value. OcCre positions it as an intermediate-level build and as the natural companion to the Fram – together the two most famous polar ships in the world, sharing the same explorer and the same museum in Oslo – which makes it easy to cross-sell to customers already drawn to Amundsen's other great ship.
With a finished length of 725 mm, the model has real shelf presence for in-store display and clear online presentation, while 1991 pieces and an estimated 480 hours of construction provide a substantial, long-lasting building experience. A strong mid-range model for ranges where classic craftsmanship, maritime history and creative leisure are key.
