Pasteur (1939); Passenger vessel

Scale: Unknown. A miniature waterline model of the French passenger ship Pasteur (1939) made entirely in wood with metal fittings and painted in realistic colours. A number of fittings and features have been drawn onto the model rather than depicted in three dimensions. The hull is painted red at the waterline, black above with white bulwarks and upperworks. Features include a long foredeck accommodating a derrick mast and four booms; main superstructure whose forward part is stepped terminating in an enclosed pilot house and open bridge wings; twenty lifeboats stowed on two boat decks, the forward boat deck being a deck higher than the aft one; mainmast; four crane derricks aft, arranged in two pairs, each pair on a separate deck; and a single funnel, positioned forward of amidships, painted ochre with a black top.
