Description: | Scale: 1:32. A contemporary full hull model of the schooner or brigantine ?Speedwell? (1825) built plank on frame. The design of the hull would suggest a date sometime during the first half of the 19th century. Even though the name ?Speedwell? is inscribed on the stern, it has not been possible to identify the model with a particular vessel. At this scale, the model depicts a vessel measuring 71 feet in length by 20 feet in the beam, and is of the type used as packets or for carrying mail and cargo around the coast.
CA: BAB. Masts and bowsprit appear to be missing.
