Abstract: The present invention relates to a vertically sinkable toy ship model comprising a plurality of compartments having a plurality of correspondent holes to provide fluid communication between the compartments. When the toy ship model is set for sinking, water enters into the first compartment of the hull through an adjustable opening to cause the ship model to tilt forward to initiate sinking with the aid of a weight until the water level reaches the first wall hole between the first compartment and the second compartment whereby the water will then flow from the first compartment into the second compartment via the first compartment wall hole to cause the sinking ship to rise into a vertically standing position in the water; the water will likewise proceed to fill the last compartment, at which point the water will fills the entire hull to cause the sinking ship to submerge under water.
