About the real model:
The RS 1 was built in 1893 for the "Norvegian Society for Shipwreck Salvage" at the "Colin Archer" shipyard in Rekkevig near Larvik, Norway. The RS 1 was later named "Colin Archer". Its tapering bow gave it a worldwide reputation. The Larvik shipyard built over 200 of these interesting vessels. The "Colin Archer RS 1" had a chequered past: after serving as a salvage vessel for 40 years, it was sold to private interests, crossed the Atlantic in 1938 suffering severe storms in North Carolina, only to be found as a wreck on the Potomac River in 1960. Finally, in April 1972, Norway's oldest lifeboat was entrusted to the Maritime Museum of Norway in Oslo. The ship was fully restored and restored to its former glory. Today the "Colin Archer" is one of the most visited ships in Northern Europe.
