Passenger vessel

Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a passenger vessel. The hull is painted black with brick-red along the waterline separated by a fine white line running the entire length of the vessel, and white bulwarks and superstructure. The decks are painted a uniform cream with two, small, square, mid-grey cargo hatch covers. The foredeck is fitted with anchor cable-handling gear, a wave deflector, a hatch, and a large single mast.

The main superstructure is positioned amidships and the main accommodation is on the main deck indicated by two groups of portholes. The bridge is located at the forward end of the boat deck and incorporates an elevated pair of bridge wings and enclosed pilot house above. The boat deck accommodates four pairs of lifeboats stowed on davits, on the port and starboard sides, all painted white with light grey covers. Between the boats are two tall, slightly raking, funnels, circular in section, painted pale yellow with black tops. There are also a pair of engine room ventilator cowlings painted white with red openings, and three skylights. At the rear of the boat deck, there is a single mast with a hatch aft of it, located on the aft deck. There is a deck house at the stern.
