   Scale  1/64      

     This is a beautiful, highly detailed, 1/64th scale wooden model kit of the Emma C. Berry from Model Shipways. Built in 1866 in Noank, CT this vessel had a watertight structure inside the hull allowed fresh seawater to circulate, keeping the catch alive as it was transported from the fishing grounds to market. In 1890, she was sold to Maine fishing interests and abandoned 30 years later. She worked as a coaster for a short time, but was out of service again in 1931. The Marine Historical Museum in Mystic, CT. acquired her in 1969, and spent several years restoring her.
