Through archaeological investigations at Leamington Wharf, in Fountainbirgde Edinburgh, the remains of a stone quay, wooden platforms and staging, a ropewalk and a canal vessel were found. The findings provided a rare opportunity to study and understand the nature of Leamington Wharf and the development of the busy terminus of the Union Canal in Edinburgh from the early 19th century until the beginnings of decline in its latter years.

The unexpected remains of the wooden canal vessel gave an insight into the nature and characteristics of early 19^th century vessels operating on the Scottish Canals. We created the original model boat for our clients as part of the project into the discovery.

Our skilled artisans developed the boat model from the archaeological evidence and the use of state of the art modelling software. The model was then submitted to the local museum service as a record demonstrating a distinct and wide-ranging research potential for further study.

The Leamington Scow model boat is a perfect example of the service and quality we offer in our Custom range. With over 12 years of experience in model making, Premier Ship Models has become the number one choice for collectors worldwide.
