Description: | Scale: 1:48. Full hull model of the 'Little Industry' (active 1880), a West Country sailing barge. Model is decked, equipped and rigged, with sails furled, towing a small tender astern. Built in the Truro area in the 1880s, it measured 40 feet in length by 14 feet in the beam. During the 1920s she was owned by a firm of coal merchants and millers who traded from Porthallow and Carn on the Lizard with a cargo capacity of up to 25 tons. She is an excellent example of the many small barges that traded extensively in the Falmouth area and on the Tamar and Lynher rivers north of Plymouth before the development of motor transport.
CA: AAA.
