Model identification:
"Possible study model leading to Pelican and Gannet model sequence 103." (Source: Curator Herreshoff Marine Museum, 2004.)

"Possibly newly identified model. This design appears to represent a step between Pelican and Gloriana. Compare with untitled and undated penciled framing plan WRDT08_08100 and with sloop / catyawl sailplan and sections WRDT08_08150 which show a perfect match with this model." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. June 13, 2019.)

"Compare also with entry in Design Book No. 2 dated December 10, 1890: 'Weighing of two preliminary models for 90 footers sloops made recetnly. Scale 1/48th. A. Length overall 117ft, w.l. 89 1/2ft, beam 24ft 5in, .... B ...'. At a scale of 1:48 this model appears to represent a boat with an LOA of 110ft 9in. This model should be carefully measured to determine what it represents." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. November 12, 2021.)
