Description

HMS Gannet Ship and Model offers a detailed look at this historic colonial gunboat. Launched in 1878, HMS Gannet was built to police Britain's empire and enforce the peace of Pax Britannica. This book by William Mowll explores the design and history of the ship before delving into the construction of his 1/48 scale model. The model is a remarkable representation of the ship, featuring intricate details such as the 2-cylinder compound steam engine with three cylindrical boilers. The removable deck allows for a clear view of all the machinery, including hull construction, coppering of the ship's bottom, and steam propulsion systems. Every aspect of the ship has been meticulously modelled, from armament to furniture in the wardroom. With its high-quality workmanship, this book brings HMS Gannet to life, providing valuable information for ship modelers and historians alike.
