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, square, mid-grey cargo hatch covers. The foredeck is fitted with anchor cable-handling gear, a wave deflector, a hatch, and what appears to be a derrick boom.

The main superstructure is positioned amidships and the promenade deck extends its entire length. The bridge is located at the forward end of the boat deck and incorporates a 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 white with black tops. There are also two pairs 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 derrick rigged to it, and with a hatch aft of it, located on the aft deck.

Number illegible on base of model.
