The history of the USFC Grampus
The schooner Grampus was built for the US Fisheries Commission in 1886
at Noank, Connecticut. She got a new design of higher speed and safety
compared to traditional fishing schooners of the time. Grampus was in
use for 31 years and conducted successful research investigations for
fish culture in New England.

This model of USFC Grampus is a fine and pleasant piece of work, a masterpiece. The elegant lines of the
schooner ship are clearly shown in the
model.
The ship model is 1 : 50 scale. Length is
87 cm,
width 15 cm, height 73 cm.
There is a display case for the model made of wood and (rather poor, high reflection) acrylic glass which may be used as protection when picking up the model with your car. The display case will not be shipped on air cargo. The case is 93 cm long, 21 cm wide, 76 cm high.
The model looks best when set without a display case.
