Wooden model ship kit of the US pilot boat "Swift" by Artesania Latina 1:50

History of the original:

The Swift was used as a pilot boat along the coast of Virginia in the 19th century to escort larger sailors safely into harbour. The boat is equipped with 2 masts and a generous sail area. The hull shape and design were new developments of the time and subsequently led to the large sailboats of the Baltimore class.
