Harrison livery, set in a moulded and painted seascape within wood-bound plexi-glass case Ñ 7 x 22 x 8in. (18 x 56 x 20cm.) overall. Carry case, historical notes, A conventional passenger-cargo steamer, the S.S. Politician unwittingly gave rise to one of the more celebrated Ealing comedies when, on the 5th of February 1942, she foundered in poor visibility on rocks off the Eriskay Sound. She was carrying a mixed cargo, but to the delight of the Barra lifeboat men who saved crew who had not already got off, it included 22,000 cases of Scotch whisky. Over the next two months the islanders played a game of cat-and-mouse with H.M. Customs as the wreck was revisited again and again despite the authorities` best efforts to preserve the cargo. Arrests were made and sixteen islanders served terms between four and six weeks. After the War, Compton Mackenzie published a popular book about the event called "Whisky Galore" with the ship called the S.S. Cabinet Minister and the island renamed "Todday" and a year later in 1948 it was turned into a hit film of the same name (in the U.S. it was called "Tight Little Island" and in France "Whisky a Go-Go").
