Unknown vessel
Scale: Unknown. A half block model of the port side of an unidentified vessel made entirely in wood, probably mahogany. The hull is made up of three horizontal pieces of wood, the middle section being slightly darker than the upper and lower pieces. The hull shape resembles a coble but has an exaggerated triangular section underneath the hull toward the stern with provision to accommodate a rudder. The bow is very raked and the transom stern has a prominent overhang. The model is displayed on a rectangular mahogany backboard.
