FEATURES

In the mid 1800's the Royal Navy began to equip its larger men-of-war with so-called steam barges or steam pinnaces. After experiments with a number of different types, 30, 40, 50 and 56 ft boats became most widely used. by the end of the century, the first motor pinnaces were ready for duty. When the First World War broke out, however, steam boats returned to the scene. The 50 ft pinnace HMS RENOWN dates from this period. The boats had a small forepeak, a crew compartment, a boiler room and a cabin. A steel frustum of a cone was fixed above the crew quarters ring on which either a 3 PDR quick-fitting or maxim gun could be fitted. This type of boat was used for a variety of tasks; shuttling ranking officers between boats, or patrolling the mouths of harbours for the protection of ships anchored therein. Hence the name "picket boats".

The HMS RENOWN is a 1:35 scale model of wood construction and includes all required fittings.
