Scratch built USS Flying Fish on the US Exploring Expedition 1838 - 1842. Plank on Frame 1:64 scale.
In 1838 the New York pilot boat “Independence” was sold to the US Navy and renamed USS Flying Fish. It was a replacement for one of two survey vessels found unfit for use in the US Exploring Expedition. It stayed with the fleet of the expedition and went south to the Antarctic. In 1842 it was found incapable of the return and was sold in Singapore to become the opium runner Spec.
