Aft deck of the model Gjøa, showing the main cabin and the machinery room with its round ceiling lights. A water cask is also visible, as is a pram, suspended on davits behind the chimney. The funky hose thingy at the cabin corner is a pump, probably made for replenishing fresh water.

Fore-portion of the Gjøa (model), showing the port side head and chain locker (upper left), and the fore-cabin skylight protected with bars over the glazing. The companionway is partially visible on left.

Amundsen's "Gjøa," a model in progress at 3/8"=12" scale. Just a few detail shots. The rougher (ahem!) execution seems to serve it well in terms of character. Were I 1/32 the man I am, I would gladly go to sea on her! #Amundsen #NWPassage #models
