Comment:
"Check if NGH date of 1900 is really correct as Intrepid's launch was built only in 1910. #277p Isabel, #278p Westward, #381p [Tender for Corsair III], #192003ep [Owner Launch for Guinevere] and #409p Corsair were added by CvdL to the list of vessels built from this model because their construction plans made direct reference to #276p for which model 419 was originally made. #279p Premier, #282p Corsair and #367p Corsair were added by CvdL because they had exactly the same dimensions as #278p whose construction plan made direct reference to #276p for which model 419 was originally made."

"This model was probably made in October 1910 as suggested by the existence of pantograph sections in the Halsey C. Herreshoff Collection at the Herreshoff Marine Museum which are dated October 20, 1910 and were made from this model for the '25ft Launch for Intrepid [#276p]." (Source: van der Linde, Claas.
