The Schooner Columbia
Photo by W.R. MacAskill 1923
The "Columbia" was officially measured on October 27th, 1923 just before her race with the "Bluenose" by Raymond J. Milgate, a marine surveyor of Halifax, N.S. Her measurements are as follows:- racing length...141.2 feet, load waterline...110.0 feet, beam...25.5 feet, draft @ 110.0 LWL ranged from 15.4 to 15.7 feet. Sail area as shown:- 10,290 square feet. Note:- "Columbia's" racing length was taken from the after edge of the main rail cap at the stern to the junction of face of the stem and underside of the bowsprit.
The detailed drawings for this fine schooner are drawn at the 3/16" = 1' scale giving you a model of approximately 33" in length, which is quite suitable for display in your home or at the office.
These plans are the result of over three years of research and based on the original hull lines and various sources from the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and various US sources.
