Thanks for replies. The STELLA POLARIS was the first custom-built cruise ship completed for the Bergen Line in 1927. She originally carried 200 passengers. The two motor launches were no doubt used to ferry the passengers to & from the ship at anchorages during World cruises. They are show on the original 1927 plans, so were not products of a later age. I built this model after seeing the dou***entary "The Thirties in Colour" on TV recently. One episode featured a round-the-world cruise. I knew that I had the plans, so I built her. Very pleased with the result. She sank under tow towards Japan in 2006 - just old-age, I guess.
