A half block model of the steamship Glamis Castle, with funnel and twin truncated masts, the rectangular satinwood veneered softwood backboard stencilled Glamis Castle to the reverse, 36cm high, 234cm long overall An iron screw steamer called the Glamis Castle was launched in 1874 by Aitken & Mansel of Glasgow, and it is probable that the model offered here is of that vessel. First owned by Thomas Skinner & Co. of London and Glasgow, (with no connection to the later Union-Castle Line) she was sold, re-engined and renamed Circe in 1888. She was wrecked just three years later near East Point on Anticosti Island in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Canada, with the loss of five lives.
