"[Item Description:] Penciled pantograph hull sections for an unidentified 24 1/2ft lwl boat titled '1st trial. 24 1/2ft w.l. plate keel. Nov[ember] 21, [18]91. (1st model)'. With calculations arriving at a displacement of 143.5cuft = 9150[lbs] and an addition of weights of Hull, Rig, Equipment, Crew (5) and Ballast totaling 9850lbs. [Is this related to Model 1532 which at a scale of 1:24 would be for a vessel of 35.2ft LOA, but given that both its bow and stern are damaged may have been for a slightly longer vessel? Or is this related to #415s Wenonah which had been contracted for on November 16, 1891? Or is this related to MRDE04_04230 which shows penciled pantograph hull sections for an unidentified 24 1/2ft lwl boat titled '1[st] trial. 24 1/2ft w.l. plate keel for Mt. Desert Y.C. [#189107es] (2nd model). Not used'? Note that cuft calculation suggests a 1:16 model scale, same scale as the model for the Mt. Desert Y.C.]" (Source: Herreshoff, N.G. (creator).
