Scale: 1:48. A sectional model depicting the stern of the Royal research ship Discovery (1901), made entirely in wood with metal and inorganic material fittings and painted in realistic colours. A cutaway section in the starboard hull and end section shows the engine and boiler rooms and other original 1901 machinery. The model is motorised, with working parts (engine & propeller). The model also shows the lifting arrangement for the propeller and rudder. The hull is painted black with a narrow white stripe between two strakes at main deck level. Hull fittings and details include an irregularly shaped cutaway section in the starboard quarter revealing the engine and also the method of construction of the hull; main and mizzen channels with dead eyes; and single two-bladed propeller. Other fittings include engine room with forward bulkhead, triple expansion engine and companion ways; single funnel, painted buff, on a white-painted mounting; two buff-painted ventilators with red inserts; a clinker-built lifeboat rigged to davits on the port side; two furnished cabins on the port and starboard sides on lower deck and a hearth between them with a tall, narrow, chimney pipe; coal store on orlop deck; and wooden main deck that is scored to resemble planking.
