The Sanson was a wooden steamer tugboat built in 1915 specifically for ocean travel, designed to operate in rough weather over the high seas. A classic tugboat of the ages.  A late 19th century to early 20th-century sea-going tug, the Sanson was designed to push trans-Atlantic giants into the safety of Atlantic harbors and assist large, troubled vessels at sea — essentially a “pusher” for trans-Atlantic giants.  With propulsion comprised of a steam engine producing up to 2,000 horsepower, the Sanson could reach speeds up to 14 knots.   

The Sanson’s era coincided with the peak of steam-powered maritime transport, when tugs were essential for moving massive cargo ships, especially in adverse weather or when navigating narrow channels. Her design and power made her suitable for trans-Atlantic service, where large vessels often required assistance in docking or maneuvering.

The Sanson tugboat was a powerful, purpose-built ocean tug from 1915, representing the engineering and maritime practices of its time, and now celebrated through high-quality wooden model reproductions.

PRODUCTS CRAFTED WITHOUT COMPROMISE, ANCHORED IN TRADITION

 

Elevate your collection with an exquisite display or RC‑compatible model, handcrafted with uncompromising precision by SavyBoat master artisans.   Built with traditional plank‑on‑frame construction, each model is built entirely from scratch using historical photographs, archival drawings, and original ship, yacht, or boat plans, ensuring a level of authenticity and craftsmanship worthy of the world’s finest collectors.

 

This same dedication to excellence extends beyond our models and into every SavyBoat product we sell—from apparel to accessories to home décor. Whether it’s a handcrafted model or a piece from our lifestyle collection, every item is designed with the same maritime heritage, premium materials, and timeless maritime style that define the SavyBoat name.

 

UNMATCHED AUTHENTICITY IN EVERY MODEL

Our models feature an extraordinary level of detail throughout, faithfully capturing the character of the real ship, yacht, or boat. Depending on the model, these features include:

 --- The finest woods throughout the model, such as Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, and Teak
 --- High‑quality fittings, trimmings, steering wheels, and propellers made of sculpted or cast metals
 --- Pre‑installed LED lighting on illuminated models (power supply not included) 
 --- Open die‑cut side hull windows—never painted, like found on other companies’ models 
 --- Precision true open die‑cut windows, doors, and portholes throughout ship superstructures
 --- Detailed lifeboats hung from launching davits

 --- Delicate railings on the forecastle, aft castle, and upper decks

 --- Complete rigging and stay‑lines on all masts and smokestacks
 --- Detailed interiors, complete with a realistic steering wheel, switches, and gauges
 --- Hand‑stitched plush seats made of genuine leather
 --  High‑gloss finishes with multi‑layered, micro‑sanded surfaces
 --- A specially developed multi‑layered paint system replicating the vessel’s true colors with remarkable depth

 --- RC‑compatible construction with epoxy‑lined hulls, pre-installed propeller shafts, and rubber assemblies.  ----  Due to the many ways our customers power their RC models, our models do not come with propellers. 

--- Hatches open for easy RC equipment installation (motor and electronics not included).

Please note, as each model is hand built, slight detail and color variations may exist between each model.
