Based in Southampton, England, the heartland of the UK’s maritime centre, Scapabrass is a company that turns out a bespoke range of quality brass products.

 

It was started by two of divers who, having had over 60 years worth of diving on various wrecks around the world between them, and having seen a plethora of brass lamp, plates and other related stuff, thought it would be quite good to have something as a momento of these ships and having dived on them.

 

So, we set about making or sourcing various items that we thought would look good as display pieces, initially for ourselves and a few friends, but then recognised that there may be others who would quite like to own such items.

 

From there it was a short step to making them available for a wider audience and hence Scapabrass.com was born to manufacture, source and supply brass fittings that would have been specified and supplied to a wide range of famous (and not so famous) ships.

 

For instance, we have made items that the Imperial German Navy would have used during the period 1907 – 1916, and can be seen on German Fleet in scuttled in Scapa Flow Orkney, i.e. SMS Markgraf, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Konig, Brummer etc and also various other key wrecks around the world.

 

Utilising Craftsmen and Engineers who specialise in brasswork, we have been able to accurately re-engineer various brass items by using original items, original drawings, specifications, forgings, photographs and other archive research.

 

Please note these items are not mass produced, but hand made items, made as far as we can in the same manner as the originals.  One change we have made though, in order to keep up with EU legislation, we are moving to use Lead Free brass which itself is slightly more expensive.

 

We have scoured a wide range of resources to bring the items of quality so that now you can “take home” a piece of history or a more contemporary item of brassware.

 

You may have seen some of our range in various shops and dive centres in the GB, but here is a wider selection from our product listings.

 

Some of our products you would expect to see, some we think you will be surprised at.
