The true giant of the seas- the Maersk ‘Triple-E’ container vessel has served as an inspiration for many, including Lego designers who have dedicated considerable attention to replicate the ship.
This is good news for all those ship model lovers, since now they can have their own world’s largest ship, but somewhat scaled down.
The model recreates the real vessel in amazing detail, including rare colors such as medium azur, dark red, sand blue and sand green to old coin that is added under the mast of all Maersk Line ships for good luck. The model features rotating gold-colored screw blades leading to the brick-built twin propeller engines, which you can view through the window built into the port side of the ship.
