SYLPH, full hull ship model
1/48 scale full hull model of the Post Office Packet SYLPH.
SYLPH was built in 1821 in Woolwich for the Holyhead-Dublin Postal Packet Service. Type: (2) Cutter. Length of Keel: 48' 8". Length of Gun: Deck: 61' 7". Beam: 21' 2". Depth of Hold: 10' 0". Tonnage: 114. Armaments: 2 brass 3lb cannon. Built as a model Port Office Packet by Woolwich dockyard for the Holyhead Station, following a recommendation of a Parliamentary Select Committee in 1819. Based on a design by Phillip Sainty of Wivenhoe. Her completion in 1821 however, coincided with the introduction of steam vessels at Holyhead so never entered service but was taken over by the Admiralty. Her service in the Royal Navy included periods as a tender at Portsmouth, Woolwich and Plymouth, until 1862 when she was loaned to Customs as a Watch vessel. She was sold in July 1882.
