Builder’s Half Model of the Schooner Yacht Migrant
About the Item
Exquisite builder’s half model of the lawley built three masted Schooner migrant. Designed by Henry Gielow migrant was the largest yacht in the world at the time and was built at a cost exceeding one million dollars. The model has incredible detail from bow to stern. The cabin work is highly detailed. The deck is adorned with carefully executed brass fittings from bow to stern. Fittings include winches, portholes, chocks, pulleys, davits, anchors, stove pipe, etc. The rigging is beyond compare. Carefully carved wood sails are fitted to the three masts and bowsprit. Migrant is considered by many to be the most beautiful Schooner ever built. The model is mounted to a large mahogany panel.
Migrant was designed by Henry Gielow, built at a cost of over 1 mil in 1929 by Geo. Lawley & Sons, Neponset, Massachusetts for Carl Tucker, of Manhattan, N.Y.
Only one month after her launch, the worlds largest schooner was in for repairs after being rammed at mooring near Fire Island, N.Y. Helpless in strong winds a Standard Oil owned barge and tug crashed into the beautiful schooner, tearing off the 42' pine bowsprit, sails, rigging and damaging a teak launch, causing over $30,000 in damage

- Half Hull Model and Framed Photograph of the Yacht 'Barabel', circa 1902.Located in London, GBA rare builders half hull boat model of the 36 Linear Rater yacht Barabel, designed by A Mylne, Glasgow. The half hull boat model is made from solid timber, and painted cream to the waterline with painted caveta and black below, with a black deck. Bearing an ivorine plaque inscribed: Mr C.MacIver's "Barabel" 36LR designed by A Mylne, Glasgow on a mahogany backboard, set with 56 silver regatta prize flags, circa 1902-1904. The nautical half hull comes together with a framed photograph of Barabel sailing at sea. Alfred Mylne was apprenticed to the famous Scottish shipbuilders, Napier Shanks and Bell. He then worked as draftsman to G.L. Watson, where he was involved in drawing up the plans of the Royal Yacht "Britannia," the magnificent racing cutter that was first owned by the Prince of Wales [later King Edward VII] and which later passed to his son, King George V. Mylne set up his own office in 1896, which almost certainly makes the firm that still bears his name the world's oldest yacht design business in continuous production. Mylne immediately established a reputation as a designer of winning yachts, and was one of the people behind the most successful yacht handicap rules of all time - the International Metre Rule. Mylne designs were always admired for their elegance, and this was one of the attractions that drew owners to commission cruisers of every size from his design board...Category
