STEAM YACHT, 1884 



Builder's Half-Model, usnm 76042 



This half-model was a proposal for constructing a 

 large 3-masted steam yacht, having light pole masts 

 with small steadying sails and intended to steam fast. 

 It was made by Dennison J. Lawlor at East Boston, 

 Massachusetts, in 1884. No vessel was built on the 

 model, which represented very advanced ideas for 

 this class of yacht at the time. 



The half-model is for a large, single-screw, wooden 

 steam-yacht hull having moderate and graceful 

 sheer, a straight keel with marked drag, a well- 

 rounded forefoot with the stem rabbet curved and 

 raking above. The stern raiibet is curved and 

 raking at the skeg, which has a vertical trailing edge. 

 The long, light, and narrow fantail counter ends in a 

 round and flaring bulwark to form the rail. The 

 entrance is long, sharp, and hollow at the forefoot, 

 and the run is long and very fine. The midsection 

 shows a rising floor with hollow at garboard, a high 

 and firm bilge, and a slight tumble-home above. 



The model is mounted with graceful longhead, 

 billet, trails, cutwater, keel, skeg, and balanced 

 rudder. 



The scale of the model is % inch to the foot, repre- 

 senting a vessel 160 feet moulded length at rail, 28 feet 

 moulded beam, and 15 feet moulded depth to rail. 



Given by Dennison J. Lawlor, shipbuilder, Ghelsea, 

 Massachusetts.
