Model boats seem to be a speciality in Sinop - the craft supposedly started by inmates of the local jail
When living in Lewes we drank at a wonderful little pub called the White Star. The owner, Marcus Warland, was a collector of White Star Line (briefly the owners of the Titanic) memorabilia. He commissioned me to build him a model of the Titanic for the pub. The wooden model is over 40 inches long and has working internal and navigation lights. The hull is made from steamed wooden planks with copper nails and the funnels are steam-bent plywood on wooden formers.

Scale model of the barquentine 'Alexander Newton' on display at Harrington NSW.
Details :
Official number: ON 073360
Registered Sydney 27/1876
Type: Barque
Length: 151.8 ft
Beam: 25.5 ft
Depth: 12.0 ft
Builder: Alexander Newton Snr & Alexander Newton Jnr
Launched: 27th January 1876
Signal Letters: WNKL
Gross Register: 309 tons
Registered: Sydney 26th April 1876
Owner: Alexander Newton & Alexander Newton Jnr.
Construction :
Carvel built from locally sourced hardwoods, white beech decks and topmasts, she was fitted with 3 masts, round stern, break deck and cabin deckhouse forward for the galley and crew space. The figurehead was the bust of a “white haired man with a beard”.
Launch :
The Alexander Newton was originally named The Father at launch on Thursday 27th January 1876, between 11 and 12 o’clock.
Witnessed by around seventy to eighty people, hearty cheers rang out as The Father successfully glided into the Manning River at the Pelican Shipbuilding yard, floating “like a duck”.
She was the largest vessel ever launched on the Manning River, and due to her size was bar bound for two months at Harrington after her launch waiting for a suitable crossing.
History :
A passage from the late Rebecca Linton's book Crossing the Bar probably best describes the great vessel.
“The Alexander Newton was a famous barque and made many a fast passage.
On one occasion she came from Queenscliff (Victoria) to Sydney Heads in 54 hours. She was under a foresail and lower topsails all the way. On another occasion, when loading in China for Adelaide, she had to wait until two competitors….one a British-built vessel and the other a German craft….were at sea before she had finished loading, but all the same, she was at Adelaide before either of them.”
Under the command of Alexander Newton Jnr, and his brother William among the crew, she made many a passage between ports in Manchuria, South Africa and Singapore, with cargoes of grain, tea, rice, coal and sugar.
Also on occasions she carried groups of Chinese labourers to Singapore or Saigon.
It was to be on a voyage from Port Stephens NSW to Napier NZ with a load of wharf piles that the Alexander Newton would meet her demise in 1894.
Wrecked : 18th June 1894
On Thursday the 14th June at midnight the Alexander Newton rounded Cape Palliser N.Z, the wind being from the N.E. On Saturday evening the wind shifted to S.S.E. and by daylight Sunday morning Bare Island was bearing N.W. 10 miles ahead.
By Monday morning the weather had deteriorated with freshening winds, soon turning to a violent gale, lifting the seas.
Leaking badly, Captain Harwood stood his vessel to sea as much as possible but, by 11-30am on Monday the 18th when the fog had lifted, the crew found themselves close into shore with heavy seas pounding the Alexander Newton; she was forced onto a rocky reef 200 yards from Portland Island.
On impact, the captain was at the wheel when he was hit by a tremendous wave washing him violently against the deck house, bleeding profusely and unable to be secured by the crew was washed over the side by another huge breaking sea.
A few minutes after she struck, the Alexander Newton began to break up. All but three of the crew managed to get lifebelts on, make their way forward, and dropped into the sea off the jib boom.
The survivors made their way to the lighthouse where they were taken care of with dry clothes, food and shelter.
On the Wednesday morning at 9 am the passing vessel Poherua was signalled, steamed around to the western side of the island and lowered a boat, picking up the remaining shipwrecked crew.
Those who survived where: Thomas Potts (Mate); Francis Edwards (Second Mate); Able Seamen William Hodgson, Charles McDonald, Charles Suckatorff and Alexander Olsen.
Captain John Harwood, Able Seaman Charles Hendwick and the cook, Mr Baker, were drowned in the disaster.
The Alexander Newton was owned at the time by Mr William Johnson and insured for ₤1500.

The kit was designed to have sails but not being into sewing I left her without. Quite a satisfying task and kept me busy for a fair number of afternoons.

RMS Aquitania. Designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland. She is the third of a trio of liners (others being Mauretania & Lusitania). She was launched in 1913 and was built for Cunard's weekly Liverpool to New York service with her first voyage in April 1914. She was 901 feet long, a breadth of 97ft and a gross tonnage of 46,000. She could also carry 3000 passengers. Cunard was a rival to the White Star Line but were to merge later on to form the cunard White Star Line. Model on loan from Glasgow Museums.
In the early 1960s launched a range of three clockwork boats moulded in plastic. in the words of the Meccano Magazine of the time - 'Hornby Speed Boats - Famed for Reliability and Realism
'Here are three excellent scale models of popular marine craft. Each is powered by a strong nickel-plated clockwork motor, giving 120 to 140 feet on one winding. Propellors and adjustable rudders are of solid brass. You'll be proud to own a Hornby Speedboat. The use of high impact Polystyrene in these models enables toughness and strength to be combined with greater buoyancy and accurate detailing of the decks and superstructure.'
In practice while closer to 'models' compared with their Tri-ang competitors, they were less robust and with too many small pieces to fall off, get lost or be broken. One innovation was a buoyancy aid for the keys.
In addition to the RAF launch shown here there was an open cockpit speed boat and a patrol boat. They turn up at toy auctions from time to time....
2 radio-controlled model tugs, 'Ayton Cross' & 'Brackengarth, on the water at Murdieston Dam, Greenock. 'Ayton Cross' has working lights and 'Brackengarth' working fire-fighting monitors. I was privileged to have a wee shot of sailing 'Ayton Cross'! Both models were built by a senior and very experienced member of Greenock Model Yacht and Power Boat Club.
Got to love this little gem, a steam powered model paddle steamer that was remote controled and painted to look like the Adelaide Steamer on the Murray River.

The Riva Aquarama was designed by Carlo Riva in the 1960s. The Riva is noted as one of the most legendary and famous speedboats out there. It is available as a FULLY ASSEMBLED model ready to be proudly display as a piece of history.
Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop.
This is truly beautiful model of the Riva Aquarama with western red cedar and mahogany hull. There are multiple tones of wood decking on the bow. You can find exquisite details from the leather works to all the realistic gauges. All fittings such as windshield frame, wiper, navigation lights, mirror, flag pole are made of stainless steel. The cockpit has two hand stitched individual leather seats as well as a rear passenger seat. The swimming platform also comes with stainless steel hand rails.
The model rests on a wooden stand for easy display.
History: In 1962 Carlo Riva introduced the AQUARAMA series of new fast runabouts. She was powered by a 2-Riva 350 horse power engines and was hailed as the water borne Ferrari by the industry. AQUARAMA is still being built by Riva; over 800 have been delivered. Without question, Riva of Italy, which traces its beginnings to a mid-19th century carpenter shop, is the world leader in producing elegent, luxury wooden runabouts.

Rear and side view of a model of the Gunboat Philadelphia -- which was sunk on October 11, 1776, in Valcour Bay, Lake Champlain (off New York).
The American Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775 after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. In late 1775, the Americans attempted to invade Canada (partly in the hope that Canada would also rebel, partly in the hope of seizing it and denying the British access to their bases there), but this failed miserably. The British then decided to invade New York.
The British received completed schooners from England, but the Americans had to build theirs.
The American shipbuilding occurred at Skenesboro (present-day Whitehall, New York). The "Philadelphia" was one of 15 gunboats (also called "gundalows" or "gondolas") but at Skenesboro. She was laid down in early July 1776 and launched in mid-August. Her first skipper was a Captain Rice.
The British and American lake navies fought on October11. The "Philadelphia" was commanded by Benjamin Rue. An unknown British vessel hit the "Philadelphia" with a 24-pound shot and she sank. The Americans were defeated, and only slipped away in the darkness after a six hour battle. Most of the American lake navy was burned, sunk, or captured over the next two days.
In the 1930s, Colonel Lorenzo F. Hagglund (a WWI veteran and professional diver who owned a salvage engineering company) began searching for the remains of the American lake navy. In 1935, Hagglund discovered the "Philadelphia" sitting upright on the lake bottom. He raised her that year along with hundreds of other items. Because of the way Hagglund raised the vessel, much of the archeological data necessary to determine exactly what happened to the Philadelphia, how she sank, and how many men went down with her was irrevocably lost.
Hagglung exhibited the ship at various locations for several years. She was given to the Smithsonian in 1961.
On display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.
SS Grange. 1892. Built in Newcastle for the Carron Company, Falkirk, "Grange" carried the company's products from Grangemouth to London. She was equipped with hydraulic cargo cranes at each hatch.
Now with a second, lower shelf on the rear garage wall I have a bit more space in the workshop. However any more boats will mean leaving the car outside!
We went to the Museum of Montserrat while we were at Montserrat. The entrance is from the Square of Saint Mary, and you go down some stairs. The museum is underground.
Was many works of art here to see.
It occupies the area beneath the three squares that stand before the monastery. Was built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1929 and 1933.
The Museum of Montserrat showcases a selection of the most outstanding artistic and archaeological heritage at the thousand-year-old Abbey of Montserrat. The museum contains six very different collections. More than 1300 pieces are exhibited in the museum, embracing a vast chronological period.
The original basis of the Museum of Montserrat was the so-called ‘Biblical Museum’, a huge, admirable work by the monk Dom Bonaventura Ubach (Barcelona, 1879-Montserrat, 1960), who spent long periods of his life in Jerusalem and Beirut from 1906.
The oldest exhibit is an Egyptian sarcophagus from the 13th century BC, whilst the most recent is a painting by Sean Scully dating to 2010. The sarcophagus forms part of the Archaeology of the Biblical East Collection, along with other objects from the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, the Holy Land and Cyprus.
There is also an exhibition devoted to the Iconography of Our Lady of Montserrat, which traces the changing way in which the Virgin has been represented in art over the centuries.
Since 2006 the Museum of Montserrat has a new section: a collection of about 160 Byzantine and Slavic icons that is titled Phos Hilaron (joyful light). These icons presented on the environment of an oriental church where the light has an important role.
The other collections are: Goldsmithery, comprising liturgical objects from the 15th to the 20th century; Painting from the 13th to the 18th century, which includes works by Berruguete, El Greco, Caravaggio, Luca Giordano, Tiepolo, etc.; and 19th and 20th century Painting, which boasts one of the finest collections of Catalan painting, including such outstanding names as Fortuny, Rusiñol, Casas, Nonell, Mir, Gimeno, Anglada Camarasa, Picasso, Dalí, etc. French Impressionist art is also represented in this section, with works by Monet, Sisley, Degas, Pissarro, etc., as well as graphic works by many of the greatest contemporary artists: Chagall, Braque, Le Corbusier, Rouault, Miró, Dalí, Picasso, Clavé, Tàpies, etc.
The Museum of Montserrat is a living entity. It experiences a constant transformation and continuous and renewed exhibitions of its collection. Only a small part of it is exhibited permanently. This is why temporary exhibitions follow each other non-stop in the Pere Daura Room and the Pere Pruna Art Space. These temporary exhibitions make up the best complement to the Museum’s visitors and stand for the real efforts of this institution. On 2015 a Sean Scully art space was opened at Santa Cecilia in Montserrat.

Wall Fragment from the Tomb of Amenemhet and His Wife, Hemet
Egyptian
Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12
(c. 1991 - 1784 B.C.)
Limestone, with pigment
Museum Purchase Fund, 1920.262
Lauded by Breasted as "one of the finest pieces I ever saw," this relief still retains its original, brightly colored four-thousand-year-old pigment. The function of Egyptian tomb art was to preserve scenes of daily life for the afterlife. In this scene, Amenemhet and his wife are outfitted with food and drink to sustain them after death. With this piece, Breasted provided the museum with a beautiful and archetypal example of Egyptian funerary art that also depicts the daily lives of ancient Egyptians.
Model Boat
Egyptian
Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 11 / 12 (c. 2134 - 1784 B.C.)
Wood with pigment
In the Middle Kingdom, tomb paintings and statues were often supplemented with wooden models. This boat is fully equipped with a crew, oars, and a mast. It was thought that the model could provide the soul of the deceased not only with routine transportation, but also with the ability to make the pilgrimage to the sacred city of Abydos in southern Egypt, the cult center of the God Osiris.
Gift of Henry H. Getty, Charles L. Hutchinson, Robert F. Fleming, and Norman W. Harris, 1894.241
