Info on boat

[Steve M]

My name is Steve. I am new to this site.
I bought this boat at a garage sale. The gentleman told me it’s at least 50 years old. I am hoping someone can tell me what ship it is. I’d like to find plans and try to resurrect it.
Thanks, Steve M

Hello and welcome to the forum from NY

Looks like a simplified version of the Lexington to me. No gunports or stern davits though.

Hi Steve
It looks like it could be a two masted topsail schooner from the 19th century. (or maybe a brigantine) There are many plans for these kinds of vessels on the internet including dozens on the Royal Museum Greenwich Collections website. https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections Type in schooner plans or brigantine plans in the search box. You can also type in schooner models for photos of old models. One specific example is at

It is difficult to identify due to the age of the model, but I agree with the comments about whether it is a schooner-topsail or not - I have added some pictures of a schooner which are sailing around in Danish water. You can book a week's trip to work as a crew -member

Welcome to the forums !

Based on the position of the channels compared to the location of the masts, the masts would have to have a significant rake. However, the precise ship? I have no idea.
