class previously built. She was ballasted with lead and iron, but 

 carried no outside ballast. 



The model has a long, sharp bow; slighth^ hollow, sharp floor; 

 long lean run; V-shaped stern; very little rake to sternpost; stem, 

 nearly straight and almost vertical above water line, but curving 

 below in a long easy sweep to join the keel about 18 feet aft of stem 

 at water line. There is a strong sheer ; the greatest beam is a little 

 abaft the middle of load water line, from which point the bow tapers 

 in a graceful curve, while the after section is easy, the stern not so 

 wide as common on pilot boats. 



Dimensions of vessel. — Length over all, 104 feet; on load water 

 line, 96 feet; beam, 22 feet; depth, 12 feet 8 inches; draft aft, 13

Block model of pilot boat. 



The schooner-rigged pilot boat Glyn, of Brunswick, Ga., was built 

 from this model at Noank, Conn., in 1884. She Avas designed by 

 G. L. Daboll. 



The Glyn was a two-masted, wooden, carvel-built, keel vessel, with 

 sharp, flaring bow; raking curved stem; long head; sharp floor; 

 long, easy run; nearly vertical stempost; heavy, V-shaped, raking 

 stern ; flush deck, good sheer. 



Dimensions of vessel. — Length over all, 78 feet; on load water 

 line, 68 feet; beam, 20 feet; depth, top of keel to top of deck, 9 feet 

 4 inches. Scale of model, one-half inch equals 1 foot. 



This vessel had a high reputation for speed as compared with 

 other pilot boats on the coast of Georgia. A marked characteristic 

 of the design, and one noticeable in most of the Noank-built vessels 

 of that period — yachts, pilot boats, and fishing smacks — was the 

 comparatively strong rake of the stem and considerable flare of the 

 bow above water. The heavy V-shaped stern was also a feature seen 

 on many of the yachts built there in earlier 3^ears.

Block model of steam yacht. 



The American steam yacht Adelita, of Boston, was designed by 

 D. J. Lawlor, of Chelsea, Mass., and built by him from this model 

 in 1881. It is a t^'pical representative of the very swift screw steam 

 yachts of moderate dimensions that have met with much favor. 



The Adelita was a wooden, carvel-built, schooner-rigged, screw- 

 propeller vessel with long and very sharp bow ; concave water lines ;
