Flying Fish

Kit by Corel

Flying Fish was an American market schooner designed by Jeremiah Burham and launched at Essex, Massachusetts in 1860; she worked with the Gloucester fishing fleet, carrying catches from the Banks to market. Market schooners were built for speed, since the first boat into port with fresh fish got the best price.

Corel's kit (SM19) models her at 1:50 with redrawn construction plans. The finished model is 745 mm long and 585 mm high.
