Description: | Scale: probably 1:72. A contemporary (?) plank on frame full hull model of a 12-gun cutter. The fact that the hull is planked in carvel fashion, (edge to edge planking), and that a square topsail is rigged would suggest a date of about 1820. Also the decoration on the stern indicates the name ?Pelican? although a cutter of this name cannot be traced either as a man-of-war or a revenue cruiser. The model represents a vessel measuring 66 feet in length by 21 feet in the beam.
CA: BAC.
