STEAM MACKEREL-SEINING SCHOONER, 1902 

 Rigged Model, usnm 285032 



Alice M. Jacobs 



The mackerel-seining steamer Alice M. Jacobs was 

 buih at Essex, Massachusetts, in 1902 for Gloucester 

 owners and was the largest and finest vessel of her type 

 that had been built in New England. At the time of 

 her launching she was much admired and received 

 much pubHcity. but her type was not immediately 

 copied; the sailing schooner, and conversions of this 

 class of vessel to auxiliary gasoline-engine powered 

 schooners, continued to ])redominate in the fishery 

 for many years. 



The model shows a schooner-rigged screw steamer, 

 narrow and deep, ha\ing strong sheer, a long sharp 

 entrance and long easy run, a straight keel with much 

 drag, a curved and raking stem that is almost straight 

 above the waterline, and an upright post with a round, 

 overhanging tugijoat stern. The midsection is formed 

 with a sharply rising floor, high easy bilge, and tum- 

 ble-home in the topside. 



The model shows a small deckhouse and pilothouse 

 well forward, a long, low quarterdeck with funnel just 

 forward of the mainmast, and a seine boat in davits 

 amidships on the port side. She is schooner rigged, 



Rigged Model (USNM 312017) of Diesel Steel 

 Trawler Storm, built at Bath, Maine, in 1936, by 

 the Bath Iron Works. Her register dimensions were 

 1 3 1. 2' X 25.1' X 1 2.1', 309 gross tons. (Smithsonian 

 photo 36yio-a.) 



with single large jib tacked to stemhead, a loose- 

 footed gaff-foresail, and a gaff-mainsail with boom. 

 A 2-bladcd screw is shown. This vessel wa.s not in- 

 tended to sail well; the rig was mainly for steadying 

 the vessel. 



Scale of the model is ]i inch to the foot; the vessel 

 was 142 feet at rail, 24 feet Ijeam, and 14 feet depth; 

 the mainmast was 88 feet long, the foremast 82 feet, 

 main boom 48 feet, and main and fore gaffs 24 feet. 



The Alice M. Jacobs could steam at 10 knots, loaded, 

 in seagoing trim. She was not a very .successful fish- 

 ing vessel economically and was a very costly one to 

 build.

DIESEL TRAWLER, 1928 

 Plating Half-Model, usn.vi 310972 



Shaivmtit, Trimount^ William J. O'Brien 



From this jjlating half-model of a steel diesel-pow- 

 ered trawler design three trawlers, the Shaivmtit, Tri- 

 mount, and William J. O'Brien (hull nos. 1419-21), 

 were liuilt in 1928 at Quincy, Massachusetts, by the 

 Bethlehem .Shipbuilding Corporation, Ltd. Plating 

 strakes are marked on the model, which was prepared 

 in the shipyard as part of the drafting operation in 

 making plans. These vessels were of the rather full- 

 ended trawler hull model once popular but now re- 

 placed lay sharper and faster vessels of far greater 

 power and size.
