Model, to a scale of one inch to a foot, exhibiting a new method of launching the long-boat of a merchant or other vessel; principally adapted for coal vessels. The boat can by this method be launched by one man, without the masts, or removed to the side of the vessel, clear of the hatchway. Transverse wheels are shipped on, so that the boat can be run fore or aft the vessel as required.

The screw being all in one piece does not revolve, but is worked up and down by the collar to which the handle is attached; it is fitted with five punching and two cutting tools, one with edges for cutting out mortise holes, the other for shaping and cutting devices in iron or other metals.
