Cargo vessel

Scale: Unknown. A waterline model of a cargo vessel. The hull is painted black with brick red at the waterline and a narrow white band on the edge of bulwark rail. The decks are painted brown with dark grey cargo hatch covers, apart from the boat deck which is cream. The short foredeck has anchor cable gear. The forward cargo deck has two hatches, the rearmost one the larger of the two, with what appears to be a derrick mast between them. The main cargo hatch has the same configuration though the foremost hatch is slightly the larger of the two. Between the cargo decks, is the main accommodation superstructure with the bridge atop. On the upper deck there is a small open observation deck, and radar and radio masts. The raised boat deck at the stern has a pair of lifeboats on davits. In front of the deck is a single funnel, painted black with a broad silver horizontal stripe. There are a further two small boats stowed either side of the funnel (one detached). All the boats have green-painted tops. On base of model "115".
