Built-in New York for the U. Revenue Service in 1857, but later captured by the Confederacy in 1883 she was used as a blockade runner to assist the southern mercantile service. Harriet Lane was powered by a combination of steam and sail. She was 180 ft. Long, with a 30 ft. Beam, and carried a 30 lb. Parrott rifle, plus three 9 smoothbore Dahlgren guns. Her crew of 95 all carried small arms. Her design clearly illustrates the transition from sail to steam, as steam engines were not entirely reliable, and power was not yet sufficient to allow the elimination of sail. Ladders, anchors, cannon, and other fittings are finely cast detail-rich, lead-free Britannia metal.

If interested, the Fine Art Models web site has lots of great information on this model.

Built in New York for the U. Revenue Service in 1857, the Harriet Lane was powered by a combination of steam and sail. She was 180 ft. Long, with a 30 ft. Beam, and carried a 30 lb. Parrott rifle, plus three 9 smooth-bore Dahlgrens. Her design clearly illustrates the transition from sail to steam, as steam engines were not entirely reliable, and power was not yet sufficient to allow the elimination of sail. Model Shipways Harriet Lane features a machine carved hardwood hull which needs only light shaping and sanding. They provide plank-scored basswood for decking and cabins, spars and hardwood blocks.
