Description
Detailed Model of a RMS Titanic Lifeboat
Scale Model of the "S.S. Titanic" Lifeboat
by R. Phillips. Of all the tragedy's failings, the lifeboats
are perhaps the most haunting. Between the wasted space and limited
number, the boats were too few, and the victims far too numerous.
Skillfully crafted after those lifeboats aboard the Titanic,
this model boasts neatly executed details from structural elements
like the planks, rudder, and mast, to the more minute
characteristics such as the rowlocks, White Star Line burgee, and
of course, the name "S.S. Titanic" at the boat's bow.
The plaque's wooden base measures 17.75 x 7.875 inches and the boat
has a width of approximately 5 inches, height of 3 inches, and
length of 15.5 inches. The brass-colored plaque credits the piece
to R. Phillips and is dated 2006, with a scale of 0.5 inch to 1
foot. Six finely crafted oars accompany the boat at the base, all
with an approximate length of 9.375 inches.Condition: Very light wear to the exterior, with minor scratching on the plaque.
Provenance: Christie's, November 6, 2006, lot 237.
