Nope.
But I can get an Authentic Wood Museum grade model online for $400+ of most famous ships.
This is a hand made wood model of the HMS Discovery on display in the Vancouver Maritime museum.
I actually have been there.
But this is a different HMS Discovery built in 1789 Captained by, former Midshipman of Cook, George Vancouver.
A Newer ship to the one 1774 built HMS Discovery that accompanied Captain Cook was decommissioned from service in 1790ish.
The British Navy likes to keep the original ship names like a pedigree in each generation.
So it's current pedigree is carried by the RRS Discovery built 2012
Thanks for coming aboard @enginewitty 💋

Holy shit you know a lot about ships. Remind me, when I get mine space-worthy, to have you as first mate or fuck captain!
