"U.S.S. MICHIGAN"
Iron Hulled Steam Paddle Frigate

This 3/16"=1' scale model was built as part of my bucket list.
The Michigan was the U.S. Navy's first iron hulled warship.
She was built on the shores of Lake Erie and launched there in 1843.
The model represents the ship after the 1897 refit by the Navy.
After 105 years on the Great Lakes, the ship was scrapped in 1948.
Model is 37 inches long. Base is white pine
