The ship is shown in its post 1889 guise, after its sale to a Canadian company, which registered it in Victoria, British Columbia. When they took on the vessel they reduced the height of the masts and changed the rigging to that of a barque.
Interestingly the model ship still has its distinctive green hull that it carried under The Aberdeen Line
