Comment:
"Model number 2001 was added by CvdL to the list of vessels built from this model as this model was not numbered in the Guide to the Collection of the Herreshoff Marine Museum." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. 2008.)

Model identification:
"This is possibly not only the model for #187504es Amaryllis [Model Yacht], but the actual plug from which NGH made its paper-mache hulls. Both, model/plug and the model yacht Amaryllis are ca. 35.5" long. This model probably also represents #187601es Amaryllis although it is believed that there may have been another model involved because none of the scales (1/8, 1/12) commonly used by NGH would make a 35.5" long model represent the 24' 10" long #187601es." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. March 24, 2021.)

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.
