Peter Rumgay Posted October 12, 2021 #1 Posted October 12, 2021 Retired construction worker, life long sailor with a passion for collecting Canadian ship portraits.My ship model collection focus on Great Lakes schooners and their development over a fifty year period , each scratch built model is of a ship that was either owned or built in my home town of Port Hope. On my bench now is the North King a side wheel steamer that moved cargo and passengers between Canada and United States. This site has inhanced my skills and helped in fulfilling a life long dream of building good ship models. What a great hobby. mtaylor, Jack12477, JKC27 and 3 others 6 Quote
