A Sailor's Model Of An American Packet Ship
Anonymous; American, 20th century
This folk art style model was probably carved and rigged by a sailor in the early 20th century. The hull of the model is built and carved from pine which has been painted with black topsides and a green bottom. The decks of the model have darkened with age and have the deck planking drawn in on the surface. There is a mahogany cap on the buwarks, and two deck houses which are painted white with black roofs. The model is detailed with capstan, belaying posts, ladders, railing, fife rails, companionway, cargo hatches, deck railings and other details. The model is rigged with a bowsprit and three masts, cross spars, standing and running rigging. The model is displayed on a pair of brass pedestals in a glass and mahogany case with a brass frame.
37 x 11 x 25 in. (93.9 x 27.9 x 63.5 cm.) cased dimensions.
