SHIP SCROLLS

If you or a loved one served or sailed on any of the ships built at Leith, then this is the page to visit.

We now have a very exciting offer on the website for anyone who may have served on or sailed on a ship built at Leith, these excellent ship scrolls are a wonderful way of commemorating someone’s time at sea.

 

They also make for a wonderful and unique gift for a relative or friend.

All we need from you are some details of the person’s time on the ship with a bit of background to what you would wish to see on the scroll, along with a photograph of the person concerned, we take care of the rest.

So please contact us in the first instance for further information, the scrolls are produced on top class print paper and in colour.

 

For now we are only selling the prints un-framed but they are A3 size which fits most common frames that you can buy almost anywhere.

The scroll is posted out to you in a solid rolled case so as not to damage the scroll.

Postage is worked out separate but all orders go first class.

 

The scrolls are all priced the same at £19.99 plus postage each.

 

Please note that we are concentrating on ships built at Leith for now, Military and commercial vessels included, but should you have a request for someone who sailed or served on one of the numerous vessels built in the U.K. over the past 100 years then we can also produce a scroll for this at a price of £24.99 plus postage each.

 

So please don’t delay as these unique gifts are exclusive to the loftsman website, get in touch with us at Ron@theloftsman.com
