Cargo vessel

Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a cargo vessel. The hull is painted grey with a fine white stripe running the length of the vessel, and white upperworks. The foredeck, stern deck, and decks on the superstructure are painted off-white, while the cargo decks are mid-brown with grey hatch covers. Between the foredeck and bridge there are two cargo hatches served by a derrick mast situated between them. Between the superstructure and stern deck there are a further two cargo hatches again served by a derrick mast between them. The superstructure amidships, which appears to be two separate sections, houses the bridge, a pair of small derricks, a single black painted funnel with a white band on which is painted 'H', a pair of lifeboats, and what could be a small cargo hatch. On base of model '372'.
