Valeriy V Posted February 22, 2021 #1 Posted February 22, 2021 There is a model of a ship in the museum's exposition, but its name is not in the photographs. Maybe someone knows his name? Maybe someone else has photos of this model? gieb8688, mtaylor and Archi 3 Quote
Jim Lad Posted February 22, 2021 #2 Posted February 22, 2021 That model is the 'Duke of Abercorn'. John Valeriy V and mtaylor 2 Quote
Shotlocker Posted February 22, 2021 #3 Posted February 22, 2021 Zooming in on the photograph and looking at the name on the bow and on the display card, it looks to me like "Duke of Abercorn", although the only ship I could find with that name was a square rigger.... Valeriy V and mtaylor 2 Quote

ccoyle Posted February 22, 2021 #5 Posted February 22, 2021 Duke of Abercorn was launched in 1919 as TSS Curraghmore, renamed in 1930, and scrapped in 1935. This model suits your skill set, Valeriy -- you should build one! Valeriy V, druxey and mtaylor 3 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

This model suits your skill set, Valeriy -- you should build one! Thank you, Chris! The swift hull of this ship resembles another turbine steamer in the St. Patrick series. Yes, I really like these ships and under some conditions I would gladly take on the construction of one of them. Shotlocker, ccoyle, druxey and 4 others 7 Quote
wefalck Posted March 1, 2021 #8 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Where these cross-Channel steamers ? Or, being in a Lancaster museum, they were crossing the Irish Sea ? Edited March 1, 2021 by wefalck mtaylor and lmagna 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
Tony Hunt Posted March 2, 2021 #9 Posted March 2, 2021 Very good looking ship, Valeriy - I can see the attraction! mtaylor 1 Quote
Valeriy V Posted March 2, 2021 Author #10 Posted March 2, 2021 The models of these turbine steamers are very interesting, but there are practically no detailed photos on the Internet. Archi, mtaylor and lmagna 3 Quote
