: Stephen,
: It would be hard to say with 100% certainty, but the date of completion and location of construction sound right. If you can find out the exact location of that model, please post it. You are in the UK, if memory serves me? There are numerous members of the various Titanic societies there that would love to get a look at that model, some of whom may wish to photograph that model and publish the photos in their journals. The Californian was a small vessel of around 5000 tons with four masts and a single funnel. If this is in fact Stanley Lord's Californian, I'm sure there would be some interest in photos of that model by some of us on this board. Good photos of the ship showing any real detail are practically nonexistant.

Hi Scott,
This model is in a hotel in Glasgow, Scotland (a mere 40 miles from me in Edinburgh). I forget which hotel he said, but I will ask him again tomorrow. I'll post back soon. I'll also phone the hotel, and see what they say.
Regards,
Stephen.
