The 1790's HMS Bounty swims! I haven't made up my mind about crew figures yet.

I got a start on the 1833 U.S. Revenue Service Cutter Roger B. Taney. She's hard-over into the wind on a 10-foot swell in pursuit of law-breakers. Crewmen will be a must on this vessel. Filing of the waterline hull on the windward side will be tricky.

It has occurred to me that these more complex vessels may be too delicate for school gifts. I have a couple of studier options for my 5th graders.
 
If you glue the cover to the base such that it doesn't easily come off, they should be fine for anyone except kindergarteners and younger. Not sure how sturdy your masts and such are, but unless they are thrown at a wall or floor would they hold up to normal handling?
 
I think these are magnificent! I agree with Paul, I think with the cover firmly glued in place, those fifth graders should be mature enough to understand that you don't punt these across the room or anything. Treat them well and they will last a lifetime.

Chris you are one incredibly awesome guy!
