Model identification:
"Probably newly identified model. Model 1216, a double-ended boat, appears to be a good fit when overlaid over the profile for #158p Launch for Seal Fishing on construction plan 002-002 (HH.5.00002). For the time being and pending further research, Model 1216 is assumed to be the model for this launch." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 25, 2020.)
