Life-Like Civil War Blockade Runner - (Cutter Lavinia) (ex Pyro), 1/124, 09362
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Sold
Very early Life-Like issue after Pyro sold out it's molds and remaining stock. Actually, this is a Pyro box with 'Life-Like' stickers neatly placed over the Pyro logo and part number on the top and all four sides. After the initial issue, Pyro re-marketed the Harriett Lane as the "Lavinia", which was what the Confederates renamed her when they captured her and made her a blockage runner. Very nicely molded full hull kit. Molded in white, black, light wood tan and green (hull). Includes full rigging diagrams and rigging material also. Never started. The parts that were originally factory sealed are still in the factory sealed bags; the parts that were not sealed have been inventoried complete including the instructions. The Harriett Lane was built in 1858 and named for President Buchanan's niece. The cutter was 180 feet long with a 30 foot beam and displacement was 670 tons. Armament consisted of 3-9 inch Dahlgrens and 1-30 lb Parrot Rifle. She was built at a time when steam was not fool-proof, so she is rigged for full sails. Harriett Lane served as the Presidential Yacht, the fired the first shot of the Civil War. She chased down blockade runners until January 1, 1863 when she was attacked by five Confederate Gun Boats and boarded. She was captured and renamed the Lavinia and was used as a blockade runner. Near the end of the war she caught fire at sea, and put into Havana Harbor. Federal forces took her again and rebuilt her in 1869 as the bark 'Elliot Ritchie'. She was abandoned at sea in 1884.
