This is a very detailed and well made model of the racing schooner "Bluenose." The ship is displayed in a lab flask and is a whole hull model. The bottom of the hull is natural color and shows planking. The top portion of the hull is black with a white stripe dividing the black sections. There are 2 masts with 6 sails. The rigging is very detailed and authentic. The deck has a cabin on the stern portion and there are 2 lifeboats.
