Comment:
"See also related fin keel half model for #450s Isolde and #451s Niagara in the Collection of the Model Room of the Herreshoff Marine Museum. [Model is unidentified but penciled note 'lead required 17260' lbs clearly points to these two vessels]." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. January 22, 2022.)
