Favourite ROBB SHIPS

The following is a list of favourite Robb ships compiled while doing the research and actually working on some of the ships.


While any list is purely subjective this is my one and will show my top 30 Robb built Ships, with the first 10 shown below.

If you click on the ships name it will take you to more on the ships at the website. (Remember this website is ongoing)

Should you have a favourite list or wish to add to this existing list then send it in to the blog or the new website at www.leithshipyards.com
