Description: | Scale: Unknown. A contemporary full hull model of a sailing vessel fitted with two sets of revolving masts circa 1830. It would appear that an earlier model hull representing a collier has been used on which to demonstrate the principal of having a sailing rig that would enable the hull to sail on a direct course regardless of the wind direction.
Both nationality and date are uncertain.
CA: BAA. Evidence of woodworm.
