Scale: 1:24. A sectional model of the bow of the exploration and research vessel RRS Discovery (1901) made entirely in wood with metal fittings and painted in realistic colours. The model depicts the construction of the vessel from the thirtieth frame onward. There is a large irregular cutaway section in the starboard bow hull with smaller cutaway sections in the forecastle and main decks. Several frames, deck beams, and hull and deck planking are also removed for clarity. The hull is painted a dark colour below the waterline, black above with a narrow white stripe just below main deck level. Fittings include a stump bowsprit and foremast; companionway housing, portside half of forward bridge and an unidentified superstructure; forecastle, section of main deck and sections of two lower decks; and iron cross bracing to the wooden frames. The model is mounted on two different shaped crutches.
