WOODEN MOUNTED HALF HULL SIGNED AND DATED 1952
Half-hull boat models are historical and decorative pieces of nautical art. They were originally used by shipwrights and naval architects as three-dimensional blueprints to help design and build full-size ships before the advent of computer-aided design. These models were often made by gluing together horizontal layers of wood, or "lifts," which could be separated to trace the lines and ensure the final ship would be symmetrical.
