Picket Boat | 1/24scale | Deans Marine

The steam Picket Boat was developed from the 63ft craft that were carried by Capital ships from 1863, to be launched and carry out attacks on the enemy fleet.
They were never used in such a role but became maids of all work for ships.
They could be armed with a 3pd gun (as shown) or a Nordenfelt machine gun. The craft were constructed with the best quality and some even survive today in working order.
The 56ft was the most numerous and became a classic of its type.
After service with the Royal Navy many of the type became the 56ft seaplane tenders for the Royal Air Force. Some of the type even survive to this day as private craft.
