It also holds the distinction of being the first model of 'Esperance' constructed by Townsend, certified with the number 001. The careful construction and keen attention to detail are clear throughout the model. The full size vessel 'Esperance' is believed to be the first twin screw steam yacht according to the Lloyds' Yacht Register, and is the oldest boat recorded on the Register ahead of 'Raven'.The full size vessel was constructed on the Clyde by T.B. Seath & Co to serve the Furness industrialist H.W. Schneider. Due to the all-weather use demanded by her owner at Bowness, the bow of 'Esperance' was heavily raked in order to break through light ice. By the end of the 19th century, ownership of 'Esperance' had changed to that of the Ferry Hotel, which used the vessel to transport guests to the hotel for afternoon tea, or up the lake for services at the nearby Wray church.In popular culture she is perhaps best known as the beloved houseboat of Captain Flint in Arthur Ransome's 1930 novel Swallows and Amazons, with the vessel actually being used in the BBC adaption. In his acclaimed novel, Arthur Ransome describes the vessel as 'a long narrow craft with a high raised cabin roof, and a row of glass windows along her side. Her bows were like the bows of an old-time clipper. Her stern was like that of a steamship'. In 1941 the 'Esperance' sank in the lake but was salvaged from the water by T.C. Pattinson.The full size vessel of 'Esperance' is currently in the collection of the renowned Windemere Jetty Museum, and the Victorian façade of the Esperance pier also survives to the present day.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
