Description: | Scale:Unknown. A contemporary half block model of the cutter-rigged 23 Metre class racing yacht Brynhild(1907). The hull is carved from a solid block of wood(?) and is painted a metallic bronze colour below the waterline with creamy white topsides above to the level of the gunwale. It has a relatively flat sheer with a curved spoon bow running smoothly aft to the ballast keel. The sternpost is raked aft and is fitted with a half elliptical-shaped rudder, above which is a long, narrow and tapering counter stern. The whole model is mounted on a rectangular-shaped mahogany backboard with rounded corners and edge on which is inscribed "Brynhild 23 metre Built by Camper & Nicholson's Ltd Gosport 1907".There is also an old Science Museum display label pinned the to the backboard under the stern.
This object was sighted as being on display during the Collections Inventory Project (2001-2005); It will need to be checked for object numbers and its condition activity updated.
