Passenger vessel

Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a passenger vessel. The hull is painted black with red at the waterline, a narrow white stripe above that runs the entire length of the hull, and white bulwarks. The decks are painted a uniform cream. The foredeck is almost devoid of detail apart from a single cargo hatch cover. The main superstructure is given over to accommodation and there are portholes along its length, painted black. Above it is the boat deck where a nest of four boats is stowed aft on davits. There is a mainmast set between the rearmost pair of boats. The bridge area is located on the upper deck with a foremast aft, and a pair of bridge wings flanking it. Aft of the bridge wings are a further two pairs of lifeboats (one currently detached). Between these boats is a single funnel, painted pale yellow with a black top.
