SY Mayflower

model ship in a glazed wooden display case

This American Presidential yacht was constructed from the original J and G Thompson plans, using period construction methods. The model was housed in a mahogany, glazed case with turned quarter columns and a removable plinth.

The steam launches and ship's boats were fully fitted out, and all fittings were made of gold plated brass.
