Description: | Scale: unknown. A waterline model of a cargo vessel. The hull is painted dark blue, with mid-green at the waterline. The decks are painted a uniform dark grey with pale grey hatch covers. The long foredeck has anchor cable gear and a large single hatch. The main deck has three hatches just visible, mostly obscured by rows of stacked containers. There is a total of ten rows of containers, mostly stored two containers high. Right at the front of the deck, on a small hatch cover, is the foremost row of eight containers with a single contained in front of it. All the depicted containers are 20-foot types with the exception of those in the rearmost row, which are 40-foot TEUs. Most of the containers are painted pale grey though there are some blue, red and yellow ones.
The white-painted superstructure is placed aft, the front face of which is sheer, vertical, and the sides of which have open promenades. Directly above the promenade decks there are a pair of lifeboats stowed. The stern elevation is terraced. The enclosed bridge is placed centrally on the upper deck and is a trapezium in plan view. There is a radar mast atop it and immediately aft is a single funnel, painted red. On the stern-most corners of the superstructure there is mounted a pair of long cranes. On the aft deck there are more containers stowed on what appears to be two hatches. On base of model "375". | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | waterline models models (representations) | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
