Passenger vessel; Ferry

Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a passenger vessel. The hull is painted black with red at the waterline and a fine white stripe above running the entire length of the vessel. The decks are painted a uniform off-white. The foredeck includes a wave deflector and a foremast.

The main superstructure is painted white and has an enclosed bridge with a pilot house above flanked by a pair of open observation decks. The open promenade deck runs the length of the superstructure. The boat deck has three pairs of lifeboats, on port and starboard sides, painted white with light grey covers, and stowed on davits. Between the lifeboats is a single funnel, painted ochre with a black top, and three skylights. An open section on the main deck, abaft the promenade deck, provides access to a hatch on the deck below, served by a crane mounted on the main deck. A raised aft deck accommodates a pair of lifeboats stowed on davits, mainmast, and what appears to be eight benches set out in two rows.

Number illegible on base of model.
