Launched in 1881 in Belfast, Maine, FANNIE A. GORHAM was built especially for the coastal trade, carrying lumber and other cargos from New England to southern ports. Her center-board and shallow draft allowed her to get over the bar at Jacksonville, Florida, a port she visited routinely.

FANNIE A. GORHAM is a good model for the less experienced builder, and, with her off-center main mast, is an unusual and interesting subject for any modeler.

The kit includes full sized plans, complete instructions, a pre-carved basswood hull, some laser-cut parts, finely-cast Britannia metal fittings, colorful laser-printed flags, rigging line and all the other materials you need except tools, paint and glue.
