Model boat kit

Lackawanna

Kit by Bluejacket

Lackawanna was a seagoing tug of 1900 that towed coal barges from Pennsylvania to ports in the Northeast and South. She was painted white to show off her clean-burning anthracite, which gave her an unusually yacht-like look for a workboat.

The 1:96 kit (K1002) has a carved basswood hull, a photo-etched brass pilothouse and deck plates, and cast fittings.
