| Place of origin |
This model boat was hand-made by the donor, Peter Iveson (b.22/01/1938), who grew up in Sedbergh, then in the West Riding of Yorkshire but now in Cumbria. Peter was an avid maker of Micromodels but this is something different. Probably made from a designed kit, its attention to detail is very fine and for a delicate model it has survived extremely well.
