Harriet Lane

Model Shipways "Harriet Lane". A very satisfying building experience. :drunken:

Soo nice. Very well done. And I'm sure it floats to!

Cool Ship Clay.

Now I like this subject. Old River boats are cool.

Great job Clay.

Stunning work Clay! That rigging gives me a headache jus' lookin' at it! Great job and excellent subject as this Side Paddlers are always cool in my book! 8)

HL wasn't a river boat, guys. She was a US Navy Revenue cutter. During the Civil war she worked the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. She is said to have fired the first naval shot of the civil war. Transition boat between sail and steam.

Excellent work, Clay. I know how much goes into one of these and they certainly aren't easy.

Hey Clay, a sweet looking ship, a beautiful job which would look great in my living room. Sorry for the delay in getting here, still finding my way around LOL. :cheers:

I admire the way you have mounted the ship. The timber base adds to the look of quality.

Me too having slow going routing thru the site. Didn't know what to expect from the title! It IS excellent, right down to the lifeboat detail. Thanks for preserving another form of our history of technology! The work is splendid as ever, thank you a ton!
