Divers who have seen the remains of the HMS St Lawrence (largest warship ever to sail the Great Lakes - by displacement) might appreciate the opportunity currently to see a model of this splendid warship in the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston. Constructed from scratch in various woods, from original Admiralty plans, in the 1970s, it features cutaway sections allowing internal detail to be examined. This is the way that ship's models of the vessel's period were made.
