Name Holgate #52 "Freight Lighter", Type II, incomplete


Catalog ID HCM6327
Year circa 1935
Description A type II Freight Lighter, in very good condition, but missing the derrick (crane) and cargo. There is a single Type 3 decal (dt3) on the bow, 95% intact.

Visually similar to the Type I (see: Holgate #52 "Freight Lighter", with cargo), but the hull is very different, being assembled from four pieces of wood, instead of routed from a single piece. The upper deck and railing are made up of 4 pieces of wood, 1/4" thick. The railing/upper deck is also yellow, not red, and there are three bollards, all on the upper deck (versus one on the bow, on the lower deck). The hull is also 1/4" shorter in both directions, but just slightly taller.
