Bill Austin’s talents on show at the museum

The museum would like to acknowledge the tremendous contribution of Bill Austin who over time has donated several of his models. These include a Nelson 40 where John Askham, the designer, (and in retirement an active museum volunteer) generously provided him with the line drawings. Other boats include Vagabond, Tremontana, and more recently Cowslip and Vagabond.

The stories of Tramontana and Vagabond can be found on the Discover page and the dropdown menu Gallery Models, or by clicking the following link. Gallery Models
