S/S LØVENØRN
Another good addition to our free scale model ship plan archive. Denmark is one of the countries where naval architecture got shaped. Maritime history dates a long way back. Viking long boats are enough to show the skill and the tradition of these lands. But in this model ship plan set, we won’t go that far back in time.
this time, we are going to the steam engine era. One of my favourite period to make scale model ships from. You can see great tall ships and steam ships, and there are even hybrid ships which harness the winds with their sails and combine the power of steam together. So if you can not decide which kind of model ship to build, this is an interesting period of time for you. We will also include scale model ship plans for hybrid ships in other posts.
S/S Lovenorn was a buoy tender built in 1877 in Burmeister & Wain with yard number 104 for Fyr – og Vagervaesenet company. She was registered to Copenhagen port. She was 38.1m long and 6m wide according to the dimensions given on the plan.
She had a B&W 2 cylinder steam engine which speeded her up to 9 knots. She was renamed as Absalon, Mathilte and Warnaes during her carreer. She was scrapped in 1970. She was a quite old lady.
