Pilot Schooner #2,
Wood Model Boat

In the age of sail, no captain existed who liked to sail into port in the dead of night or in a raging storm. That is where pilots came in. They signaled incoming vessels, then came alongside to drop off a pilot who could expertly guide vessels inside the port. Pilot boats were like the the yachts of their day, fast, nimble and very seaworthy. The first America Cup racer "America" was built along the lines of one of the fastest pilot boats.

This model is hand built plank on frame using original construction blueprints. Pre Assembled with stand. For display only.
