Passenger/cargo vessel
Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a passenger/cargo vessel. The hull is painted black, with brick red at the waterline, a fine white stripe running the entire length of the hull, and white bulwarks. The decks are painted mid-brown with mid-grey hatch covers, apart from the stern, poop, boat, and bridge decks, which are pale buff. The forecastle has anchor cable gear. The forward cargo deck has two cargo hatch covers with a derrick mast between them and a pair of derricks aft. The main superstructure is placed amidships and has two open promenade decks. Atop these is the boat deck with six lifeboats stowed on davits. Between them is a single mast painted black, four ventilators, and other equipment. The bridge is flanked by a pair of bridge wings and an open pilot house on the upper deck. The aft cargo deck is the same configuration as the forward deck but with a pair of derricks forward. The stern deck has a raised poop deck. Number illegible on base.
