Good Evening- This ship model was on the fireplace mantle while I was growing up until it was sadly damaged and the rigging lost. I still have the solid wood hull and some of the attaching parts pictured.
This model does not appear to have a high level of finish and most components appeared to have been nailed to the hull. The base has some writing (hard to read) penciled underneath:
KAMIHS (?)
Thompson Me
1874
Capt Meil (?)
I have been planning a rebuild for years and now looking to Model Ship World for information on a sail plan that may be close enough to use as a guide. To my eye, the size and scale of 1:96 Flying Fish looks close but I will defer to more experienced modelers.
I have tools, some patience and experience building model kits since I was a kid, so looking for your insights and experience before I muck the whole thing up.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Bob
