Description

~ Scratch Built Waterline Model Of SS Ohio Oil Tanker Circa 1942 ~

The scratch built, one-off, model is of solid wood construction with some nice detailing set on a choppy sea on a flat baseboard.

SS Ohio was an oil tanker built for the Texas Oil Company (now Texaco). The ship was launched on 20 April 1940 at the Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. in Chester, Pennsylvania. The United Kingdom requisitioned her to re-supply the island fortress of Malta during the Second World War.

The tanker played a key role in Operation Pedestal, which was one of the fiercest and most heavily contested of the Malta convoys, in August 1942. Although Ohio reached Malta successfully, she was so badly damaged that she had to be effectively scuttled in order to offload her cargo, and never sailed again. The tanker is fondly remembered in Malta, where to this day she is considered the saviour of the beleaguered island.

~ Dimensions ~

The model (on base) measures 40cm (15 ½ inches) by 7.5cm (3 inches) with a height of 7.5cm (3 inches).

It weighs 285g

~ Condition ~

The model is in a very nice condition with no damage.
