Dorchester^ Qjdncy, Winthrop, Dartmouth, 

 Amherst, Cornell, Thomas Whale)i, Atlantic, 



Plymouth 



From this plating half-model nine diesel-jjowered, 

 steel trawlers were built at Quincy, Massachusetts, 

 between 1929 and 1934 by the Bethlehem ShipJHiild- 

 ing Corporation, Ltd. The hulls, nos. 1427-29, 

 1433-35, and 1455-57, were named Dorchester, 

 Qjiincv. ]Vinthrop, Dartmouth, Amherst, Cornell, Thomas 

 Whalen, Atlantic, and Plymouth. This model repre- 

 sents a class of small trawlers that today would ije 

 called "dragers" in the New England fisheries. 



The model shows a piece inserted amidships to ex- 

 tend the hull beyond the original design length. It 

 represents a steel trawler hull having a straight keel 

 with a little drag, straight and slightly raking stem, 

 cutaway forefoot, round stern with an upright stern- 

 post, strong sheer, short and rather sharp entrance, 

 long deadflat, and a short but well-formed run. The

NEW ENGLAND WOODEN DIESEL DRAGGER, 



1951 

 Rigged Model usnm 316743 



Albatross 



The wooden dragger Albatross was designed by naval 

 architect Geerd N. Hendel in 1946, and a number of 

 vessels were built on the moulds; among them, 

 between 1946 and 1952, were the Albatross, ll'ild 

 Duck, Pocahontas, and Clipper. The Albatross, built by 

 Harvey Gamage, of South Bristol, Maine, was 

 rammed and sunk by a tanker while yet new. These 

 craft were approximately 132 tons gross, 89 tons net, 

 79.1 feet tonnage length, 21.9 feet beam, and 11.8 

 feet depth in hold. Diesel powered, they were 

 intended for the New England trawl fisheries. The 

 Albatross was used in red-fish trawling. 



The model shows the Albatross as built, on a scale 

 of % inch to the foot. The vessel's length overall 

 was 90 feet, her extreme beam 21 feet 6 inches, and 

 her draft 10 feet 6 inches. The hull of the model has 

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

 rounded forefoot, curved and raking stem, nearly 

 vertical sternpost, and a round stern. The entrance 

 is long and sharp, the run short and rather full. The
