Description: | Scale: Unknown. A full hull model of an experimental hull, possibly made for tank-testing purposes, made entirely in wood and painted and varnished. The hull?s sleek shape incorporates a superstructure of sorts with two railed decks, a prominent keel and a tail fin-like stern. The hull is varnished wood below the waterline, with a broad black above, and varnished wood above the waterline. The decks are varnished wood and there are narrow black stripes around them. Other features include a fin-shaped metal (brass) rudder at the bow; metal bilge keels; and a pair of metal valve-like intakes either side of the keel, beneath the hull. The model is displayed on a pair of shaped wooden crutches, painted black (one crutch missing).
