Model Comment:
"Reference to Model 121 was added by CvdL because overlaying a photo of this model with the rowboats on plan 28-1 (Yacht's Yawl Boats from 1882), suitably stretched or shrunk along the x-axis to account for different frame spacing, shows an almost perfect match in outlines and leads to the conclusion that the dinghies on plan 28-1 (and on plan 28-7 which refers to it) were built from model 121." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
Note: Vessels that appear in the records as not built, a cancelled contract, a study model, or as a model sailboat are listed but not counted in the list of vessels built from a model.

Research Note(s)
"One 14'-3" boat used for Torpedo Boat #14 [190p Morris] #15 [191p Talbot] #16 [192p Gwin]. Approved Feb 23 1898 H. G. Gilmour (Asst. Naval Commander U.S.N.). Planking cedar 5/16", thwarts mahogany [as per notes on drawing 28-7]." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
"This vessel's building date was estimated from the date drawing 28-7 was approved of. Plan 28-7 (formerly 75-15) from which this boat was built was drawn 1891-07-21. #192p Gwin (for which this vessel was built) was contracted for 1896-10. This boat's contract or building date is about 16 months after #192p Gwin was contracted for." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
