Model of a mid 19th century New York Pilot Boat.

The tradition of guiding ocean vessels into port by using local pilots is practiced to this day. Pilot ships were nimble, fast sailing ships, mainly schooner rigged, that sailed out to drop off a pilot at each waiting incoming vessel. Our new model is beautifully detailed with a wooden hull. 20 3/4 in. x 4 in. x 24 3/4. in. Comes gift boxed and fully assembled.
