Description: | Scale: 1:48. A sectional model depicting the stern of the Royal research ship Discovery (1901), made entirely in wood with metal and inorganic material fittings and painted in realistic colours. A cutaway section in the starboard hull and end section shows the engine and boiler rooms and other original 1901 machinery. The model is motorised, with working parts (engine & propeller). The model also shows the lifting arrangement for the propeller and rudder. The hull is painted black with a narrow white stripe between two strakes at main deck level. Hull fittings and details include an irregularly-shaped cutaway section in the starboard quarter revealing the engine and also the method of construction of the hull; main and mizzen channels with dead eyes; and single two-bladed propeller. Other fittings include engine room with forward bulkhead, triple expansion engine and companion ways; single funnel, painted buff, on a white-painted mounting; two buff-painted ventilators with red inserts; a clinker-built lifeboat rigged to davits on the port side; two furnished cabins on the port and starboard sides on lower deck and a hearth between them with a tall, narrow, chimney pipe; coal store on orlop deck; and wooden main deck that is scored to resemble planking. On stern ?Discovery?.
