Operated by a motor supplied with power from storage batteries and fully equipped with electric signal lamps and searchlights, a model of a Dutch destroyers built by an officer of an ocean liner has almost every accessory found above deck on the original of the copy. The hull is constructed of small strips of wood over a carefully laid keel and skeleton of the same material. The tiny craft can make fast speed in the water, and its motion can be regulated from the deck. A cook's galley has been provided where a tov stove and a set of kitchen utensils are installed. It required almost three years for the builder to complete the miniature and all work was done during trips on the Atlantic ocean. Although the rolling and pitching of the liner often made the task difficult, the most delicate parts were successfully fashioned. The model is about forty inches long.
