mond, also built in that year, and later used by many 

 fishing schooners famous for their sailing qualities. 

 Successful as a research vessel, the Grampus does not 

 appear to have made any reputation for speed, and 

 the effects of her design were not great, owing to the 

 earlier appearance of Lawlor-designed vessels having 

 similar characteristics. 



The model shows a well-smack schooner having a 

 straight keel with much drag, stem straight and up- 

 right above the waterline, forefoot below well rounded. 

 Post nearly upright, counter short and finished with 

 an elliptical transom at a sharp rake and strongly 

 curved athwartships. Sheer is great and the vessel 

 has a long, low quarterdeck. The entrance is long, 

 sharp, and slightly hollow; the run is long, easy and 

 moderately flat in the buttocks. The midsection 

 shows a rising floor having some hollow in the gar- 

 board, a hard bilge, and tumble-home in the topside; 

 the lines of this vessel somewhat resemble those of the 

 Roulette (see half-model USNM 76034), iwilt in 1884. 



The original rig of the Grampus included bowsprit 

 and jib boom, but the rigged model shows a spike 



bowsprit that was fitted shcjrtly after her launching, the 

 spike bowsprit having been introduced by the Carrie E. 

 Phillips, in 1887. 



Scale of the model is % inch to the foot. 



The Grampus was 90 feet at rail, 81 feet 6 inches be- 

 tween perpendiculars, 22 feet 3 inches beam, 10 feet 

 depth of hold, and 83.30 tons register. Her draft was 

 1 1 feet 6 inches. 



She carried topmasts with fore and main gaff-top- 

 sails ; mainsail, foresail, main-topmast staysail, fore 

 staysail, jib, and jib topsail; in her original rig she 

 had a jib, forestaysail, flying jib. and jib topsail.
