Bay Lady
This flashy model was custom built from a Lindbergh kit. The gaily painted fishing boat with all its highly detailed gear was placed in extremely realistic “water,” for which Jerome Morris uses a specially developed technique. Note the incredibly realistic effect of the bow cutting through the water.
Hi Buoy
A custom-built lobster boat on a miniature scale, this model measures 7” long. It is a classic Maine vessel, a hard-working member of the coastal fishing fleet, and is highly sought after by collectors.
Estocin
Custom Built on commission by Jerome Morris, this model of the Estocin is an Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate.
D. T. Sheridan
Custom scratch-built model of the famous tugboat, built in 1948, that cruised the East Coast until she ran aground on Monhegan Island. Her remains have been compromised by the ceaseless effects of wind and waves, and there is not much left, but this colorful model is on view at the Monhegan Museum.
IN PROGRESS: An elegant model of the Bowdoin, this scratch-built model is owned by the Maine Maritime Academy. The Bowdoin was a two-masted schooner captained by the intrepid Admiral Donald MacMillan for his Arctic voyages in the 1920s. The model is 20” long, built to ¼” scale, and features beautifully crafted details, including a hand-laid deck.
This photo shows three models in progress. The boat to the left is a Pacific Class Super Seiner, and was a commissioned custom-built model. The red and blue boat in the foreground is a model of the fishing boat Enterprise out of Rockland, and shows the true character of the hard-working local fleet. The red and blue model behind the Enterprise is a radio-controlled scallop dragger, another local workhorse often frequenting Maine’s waters. The photo below shows the dragger making its way across the water.
This delightful model is actually 48” long, and is a charming replica of the hard-working lobster boats that sail the Maine coast. It is shown during a radio-controlled outing on the water — note the very realistic wake!
