Valeriy V Posted February 22, 2021 Share #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? Archi, gieb8688 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted February 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2021 That model is the 'Duke of Abercorn'. John mtaylor and Valeriy V 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotlocker Posted February 22, 2021 Share #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....

ccoyle Posted February 22, 2021 Share #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.

Yes, I really like these ships and under some conditions I would gladly take on the construction of one of them.

wefalck Posted March 1, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Where these cross-Channel steamers ? Or, being in a Lancaster museum, they were crossing the Irish Sea ?

Valeriy V Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share #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, lmagna and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
