usually worked with a captain and one or two hands; 

 the Fanny M. worked very often with only the owner 

 and his wife aboard. The crews were often French 

 Canadians who were not sailors but only roustabouts. 

 The model is on a scale of ]i inch to the foot and 

 represents a gundalow about 67 feet 6 inches long on 

 deck, 18 feet beam, and about 4 feet 6 inches depth. 

 The vessel's hull was built of hewn logs edgebolted 



and secured to heavy single-futtock frames, the con- 

 struction being marked by massive strength. The 

 gundalows were very fast sailers and were very handy 

 in narrow waters. They were fitted with two long 

 sweeps with tholes forward of the mast, to permit 

 them to be rowed in calm weather. 



Given by the builder, Edward H. Adams, .Adams' 

 Point, New Hampshire.
