1966 Hess Voyager Ship


This is the second edition in the Hess Toy Trucks collection and is a replica of the real ship that was used to transport oil. The ship has real working clear lights on the bow and stern as well as red & green lights on the port and starboard sides of the ship. Some of the other features on it is a prop, rudder and anchors on each side of the bow. There are wheels on the bottom of the Voyager which made it prone to damage to things like the prop or rudder which would break off when the child would roll it across the floor or carpet! Believe it or not if you broke some pieces you could actually call Hess and they would send you replacement parts years ago. This is another one of my favorite pieces in the collection mainly because of the amazing detail Hess puts into all of their toys from the smallest of lights to the many chrome accents.
