DESCRIPTION SITE :

New York built schooner yacht America is depicted in this gorgeous clearwater diorama cruising in warm Gulf Stream waters of the Atlantic Coast. The full hull model is constructed from two basswood waterline lifts with applied bulwarks, laid decks, and is authentically fitted-out. The sails are paper, and the scene includes various work-action hand painted figures. The model is presented in a custom fitted mahogany frame with glazed cover trimmed in brass and two brass engraved name plaques.

A collaborative effort between Hitchcock and Nader Taheri, this solid basswood hull model constructed via laminated water line lifts with blanked-over topsides, laid decking and fully rigged according to practice was proficiently produced by Mr. Hitchcock. He also designed, engineered and fabricated the construction of the clearwater format (box) of the display and rocky shoals.
