COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON BOAT, 1885 

 Rigged Model, usnm 285033 



0.971 



This model represents a Columbia River salmon 

 boat of later date than that represented by usnm 

 22216, and shows the inboard arrangement of these 

 boats in great detail. 



The model is of a double-ended centerboard, half- 

 decked boat rigged with one mast set in a clamp at 

 the after end of the foredeck, a spritsail with sprit, 

 and a sprit boom. The entrance and run are sharp 

 and somewhat hollow, the sheer moderate, the keel 

 straight and with slight drag, the stem and sternposts 

 both rather upright and with heels rounded, the 

 stem more so. The midsection is formed with a 



rising straight floor, rather easy turn of bilge, and 

 flaring topside. 



The boat is fitted with short bow and stern decks 

 and a narrow washboard along each side. The 

 coaming is carried around the boat and is rounded 

 at bow and stern. There are three thwarts, with a 

 "dividing board" just abaft the after thwart. The 

 centerboard case extends from the forward to the 

 aftermost thwart and is capped; the centerboard is 

 raised and lowered by a jointed iron handle. On 

 each side of the case, between the forward and middle, 

 and middle and aftermost thwarts are fish holds 

 with hatches at thwart level. The boat is fitted to 

 row two pairs of oars and is steered with an outboard 

 rudder and tiller. The painter leads through a 

 navel hole in short foredeck; another navel hole is 

 in the short after-deck. A fore-and-aft hole through 

 the stem head serves as a fair leader, or hawse, for the 

 bow painter. 



Scale of model is 1 inch to the foot; the boat repre- 

 sented was 26 feet 5 inches overall, 7 feet 6 inches 

 beain, 2 feet 9 inches deep amidships, 3 feet 9 inches
