Cargo vessel

Scale: Unknown. A half frame model of the starboard side of an unidentified sailing merchant vessel, made entirely in wood. The model is unpainted and depicts only the frames which are shown as solid bulkheads, gunwale, two rows of planks (or what might also be timbers to hold the frames in position) and general shape of the transom. The backboard is integral to the model, forming the centreline and effectively outlining the general position and lines of the stem-post, keel, stern post and deadwood.
