Description
Traditional clinker-built whaleboat launch, used in New Bedford up to 1860.
Sturdy and light, with similar bow and stern, the whaleboat launch carried a crew of six and a wide range of accessories for hunting and navigation.
A whaleboat launch could be dragged by a harpooned whale for many miles before the whale tired, and sometimes it would take days to sail back to the mothership, so the launch was always well-stocked with drinking water, food and tobacco, along with mast, sails and compass.
It includes pre-cut keel and frames; internal planking in hardwood strips; pre-cut external planking; all accessories in wood, metal and resin, mast; instructions and construction plans.

la Baleniera di New Bedford 1890
Un ringraziamento alla sig.ra Giuliana Marletti per l\'assistenza durante le prime fasi del montaggio di questo particolare modello navale.\r\nUn suggerimento personale ai modellisti di questa interessante imbarcazione. Consiglio di posizionare n. 8 listelli 1x5 del fasciame interno (20 nelle istruzioni), avendo cura di rastremare con con cura ed attenzione i listelli, partendo dalla chiglia,, 1 e 6, 7 e 8 verso la prua e la poppa.
