Passenger vessel

Scale: Unknown. A model of a boat made entirely of wood which is varnished. The hull is double ended and carved from a single piece of wood. There is a very unusual two part keel at the bow and the stern, but no keel amidships. The rudder is worked by a tiller (missing) and there is a very long length of rope attached to it. There is simple decorative carving at the bow and stern. The model is equipped with a mast, lateen boom, and settee sail.
