These little boats at 250 feet came about with
the Navy realizing it needed a small sub-chaser
then the Destroyers of WW1. It's fascinating how
Henry Ford managed to get the contract to build
100 of these boats starting in 1918. The model
here is real nice! I really would like to build
one of these, a military boat built on the
Lakes!! This particular model can be found at
the Mariners Church in Detroit, MI. It's a 75th
Anniversary of the Eagle Boats. A gift of Bryan
R. Ford!!
