in an elliptical, raking transom. There is dead rise in 

 the bottom, the entrance is sharp, the run easy, and 

 the midsection is formed with straight rising floor, 

 hard turn of bilge, and a slight tumble-home in the 

 topside. 



Scale of model is Ji inch to the foot, producing a ves- 

 sel having a moulded length at rail 90 feet 11 inches, 

 length between perpendiculars 82 feet 1 inch, moulded 

 beam 20 feet 10 inches, depth in hold 9 feet 6 inches, 

 and drawing 10 feet at post and 7 feet forward.

FISHING KETCH TRAWLER, 1891 

 Rigged Model, usnm 76263 



Kesolute 



This rigged model of the fishing ketch Resolute is of 

 the vessel represented by the builder's half-model 

 USNM 76288. Her deck arrangement and much of 

 her rig were copied from English trawlers, but her 

 bowsprit was fixed instead of ''reefing" (i. e., capable 

 of being hauled inboard) as in the English boats. 

 There were also departures from English practices in 

 the reeving of the running rigging and in rigging 

 fittings. 



The Resolute was aliout 91 feet long at the rail; her 

 bowsprit extended 39 feet outside the knightheads. 

 the mainmast was 66 feet above deck to cap, main- 

 lopmast was 39 feet 6 inches long overall, main boom 

 41 feet 6 inches, main gaff 39 feet, mizzenmast 52 feet 

 deck to pole head, mizzen boom 30 feet, mizzen gaff 

 22 feet, main-topsail yard 13 feet 6 inches, mizzen- 

 topsail yard 10 feet 6 inches (the gaff-topsails were lug 

 headed). Scale of model is J^ inch to the foot. 



When fitted as a schooner the original deck arrange- 

 ment was entirely altered. The Resolute was never a 

 very fast sailer.

FISHING SCHOONER, 1892 

 Builder's H.\lf-Model, usnm 76279 



New Era (No. 2) 



This model was a proposed design for a market 

 fishing schooner based upon the most advanced ideas 

 of the time, 1892. The design shows the influence of 

 the Fredonia model, and was made by Captain Jo- 

 seph W. Collins of the U. S. Fish Commission. No 

 vessel was built to this design; had there been the de- 

 signer would probably have been disappointed, as her 

 run was too full to allow high speed under sail in 

 strong winds. This was the second of two proposals 



for fishing schooners given this name by Captain 

 Collins, the earlier one being for a smack-schooner. 



The half-model shows a schooner having a marked 

 and graceful sheer, keel heavily rockered, sweeping up 

 to a much cut away forefoot. The stern ral)ljet rakes 

 sharply and is finished with a small cutwater and 

 gammon-knee head, the post rakes a great deal. The 

 counter is of moderate length, very high and light, 

 ending with a small and extremely raking elliptical 

 transom, somewhat V-shaped at the bottom. The 

 entrance is long and sharp, the run rather short and 

 full, with buttocks too round for high speed. The 

 greatest beam is well abaft midlength and the section 

 there is formed with slightly hollow garboard, rising 

 floor, high and rather hard turn of bilge, and slight 

 tumble-home in topside. 



Scale of model Js inch to the foot; the vessel would 

 measure 85 feet at rail, 20 feet 3 inches moulded beam, 

 and would draw about 10 feet 6 inches or 11 feet. 

 This inodel was exhibited at the International Fishery 

 Exposition, at Bergen, Norway, in 1898.

FISHING SCHOONER 

 Rigged Model, usnm 76252 



New Era (No. 2) 



This rigged model of the proposal for a market fish- 

 ing schooner in 1892, by Captain Joseph VV. Collins, 

 represented by builder's half-model usnm 76279, 

 was made for exhibition purposes. The model is 

 representative in rig, deck arrangement, and general 

 appearance of the Fredonia-model schooners of her 

 class and date. 



Scale of the model is K inch to the foot. Had the 

 schooner been built she would ha\e been about 85 

 feel over the rail and her bowsprit would extend 24 

 feet outboard the stem rabbet, foremast 50 feet deck to 

 cap. fore-topmast 30 feet total length, fore boom 20 

 feet, fore gaff 22 feet, mainmast 58 feet deck to cap, 

 main-topmast 34 feet total length, main booin 55 feet, 

 main gaff 38 feet 6 inches, fore crosstrees 1 1 feet, and 

 inain crosstrees 13 feet. 



The model is under all sail — mainsail, foresail, fore- 

 staysail, jib, jib topsail, fore and main gaff-topsails and 

 "fishermen" or main-topmast staysail and shows the 

 very short foremasts and very narrow fore gaff-sails 

 which the Fredonia-model schooners often had, follow- 

 ing the then yachting fashion. This model was ex- 

 hibited at the International Fisheries Exposition at 

 Bergen, Norway, in 1898.
