Lackawanna: Sea-Going Tug Boat of 1900

Lackawanna worked the East Coast, pulling barges of coal from Pennsylvania to the industrial centers of the northeast and south. She was painted white to show off the clean-burning qualities of the hard anthracite coal she burned. Her yacht-like appearance made her stand out among her fellow workboats. This small steam tug model is perfect for the less-experienced model builder. She represents the state-of-the-art in kit manufacturing: pre-carved basswood hull, photoetched brass pilothouse and deck plates, cast brass ventilators and propeller. Scale: 1/96 (compatible with HO scale). Length: 17-1/2 inches. Height: 9-1/4 inches. Made by Bluejacket Ship Crafters.
