 this model; the first named in 1868. The model was made by D. J. 

 Lawlor. 



The bow is long and sharp, with wave-shaped lines at and below 

 load-water line, convex and slightly flaring above: sharp, straight 

 floor; long, easy run; V-shaped raking stern; nearly vertical stern- 

 post: curved stem, which rakes much more than is common in ves- 

 sels of this class. There is a strong drag, a graceful sheer, and the 

 greatest beam is about amidships. 



Dimensions of vessel. — Length over all, 76 feet ; beam, 20 feet ; 

 depth of hold, 10 feet. Scale of model, one-half inch equals 1 foot.

Block model of pilot boat. 



The Boston pilot boat Lillie was built from this model at Boston 

 in 1876. The vessel was designed and the model made by D. J. Law- 

 lor. The Lillie is a wooden, schooner-rigged vessel. She is slightly 

 fuller in the midship and after sections than pilot boats built a few 

 years earlier, and the top tumbles in somewhat; the greatest width 

 is at or below the water line. 



This model has a long, sharp bow, convex above, moderately con- 

 cave at and below water line; slightly hollow floor, Avhich has less 

 angle of rise than is common on pilot boats; long, easy run; deep, 

 raking. V-shaped stern; stem straight and nearly vertical above 

 w^ater line; curved below; considerable sheer; greatest beam about 

 amidships. 



Dimensions of vessel. — Length over all, 74 feet; beam, 20 feet; 

 depth, 9 feet. Scale of model, one-half inch equals 1 foot.
