Description: | Scale: 1:12. Unidentified part from a contemporary full hull plank on frame model of an eight-oared whaleboat circa 1870. The model illustrates a double-ended ?whaler' hull and is built in clinker construction, i.e. with overlapping planks fixed to steamed frames. It is equipped with four pairs of rowlocks mounted on the gunwale, a rudder complete with a gunmetal or brass yoke (rope steering lines missing) and a mast thwart for rigging a single mast for sailing. In the stern sheets, there is a backboard inscribed with the letters ?HMC? which would suggest that this was one of the many cutters and whalers as used by the Coastguard Service.
CA: AAA.
