SOLD OUT
This model ship was a barn find and was bought as part of a larger LASSCO clearance.. She had remained uncovered for many years and was cob-webbed and dusty. LASSCO has given her an initial clean and found remarkably little damage to the rigging. The buyer might choose to give her a more rigorous clean. The keel has fixings for a keel weight to enable her to float correctly – we did not find that weight. She is presented in a bespoke cradle.
