Model Shipways 2109
This is a beautiful, highly
detailed, 1/48th scale wooden model kit of the Benjamin W. Latham from Model
Shipways. The Benjamin W. Latham is an outstanding example of a
turn-of-the-century Grand Banks fisherman. Built in the Tarr and James yard
at Essex, MA in 1902, she sailed out of Noank, CT as a mackerel steiner.
From 1906 to the end of her career, she operated as a dory trawler out of
New York's Fulton Fish Market. She was lost off the coast of San Juan in
1943. Now you can build a true replica
of this historic vessel that will be over 33" long and over 27" high. This
wonderful Intermediate Level kit features Laser Cut keel and 14-piece
bulkhead set, basswood planking for the hull and deck, and plenty of strip
stock for timberheads, monkey boards, riding bitts and deck cabins, hatches
and chain boxes, over 100 blocks and deadeyes, three diameters of rigging,
brass eyebolts, chain plates and strop rings, Britannia metal fitting for
windlass parts, anchors, bilge pumps, props, exhaust pipes, fiferails and
smokeheads, an authentic plank-on-bulkhead seine boat, Sail cloth for a full
complement of sail, and with the 48 page instruction book that leaves no
construction detail unexplained this kit will be a joy to build and display.
