These brigs will be remembered by all who served in the Calcutta trade in the days of sail, and the sister ships Fame & Alice, built in the R.I.M. Dockyard, Bombay in 1895, were the last of their line. Their design, the result of years of experience, represented the pilot brig at its best.

Harold Underhill Plans have been produced to meet the needs of those wishing to build authentic scale ship models, and every care has been taken to ensure accurate detail. In the case of named ships they have been compiled from the original builders’ plans and specifications, personal survey of the actual vessel, or both. Where possible, any changes made during the life of the ship have been noted on the drawings.
