Floating dock M 885 Triang Minic Ships 1st series Reasonable playworn condition.Rare
£18.95Here is a harbour item from the amazing 1st series of Triang Minic Ships, 1956-64.
M885 a model of a floating dock based upon the Admiralty Floating Dock (AFD) design of the Royal Navy which was deployed throughout the British Empire to provide maintenance facilities in support of the Fleet. AFDs were used extensively in the Pacific Theatre during the Second World War to provide repairs for ships damaged in battle.
Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson Ltd were the leading builder of AFDs for the Royal Navy including AFD 10 with a 50,000 ton lifting capacity which was built for the major Royal Navy base at Singapore. One of the largest ship wrecks in the world is the 80,000 ton AFD 23 which sank on 8th August 1944 when a buoyancy tank broke loose while the 30,000 ton battleship HMS Valiant was in dock off the coast of Ceylon ( Sri Lanka ).
This model with a scale length of 850 feet and internal clearance of 112 feet 6 inches between the wing walls represents one of the larger AFDs with a lifting capacity of around 30,000 tons.
Condition playworn. 1 crane and two dock gates .
