Description: | Scale 1:192. HMS ?Jewel? was built by Harland & Wolff and launched in July 1944. This model was made by the same maker as the model of HMS ?Jervis? (SLR1549), to the same standard, and in exactly the same style, with the hull, superstructure, and many of the fittings being carved from wood blocks. There is some attempt at detail though, like the two paravanes stored on deck at the stern and the ship?s barge, having been launched, lies alongside attached to a boom. The ship is shown astern of a mooring buoy. The deckhouse shown aft was fitted about 1958 and the sister ship 'Acute' (1942) was similarly treated at the same time. The deckhouse was a classroom for cadets of the RNC, Dartmouth, to which these two ships were attached as seagoing training ships.
The ?Algerine?-class minesweeper was built for both the home and Royal Canadian Navies. 110 ships of the class were built between 1942?44. They were designed as small vessels that could serve in a variety of roles, not just as minesweepers, in fact most served as convoy escorts during the second battle of the Atlantic. After the war, a number continued in service as patrol boats, survey ships and training ships.
