About the Model
This is a scratch-built dredge winder engine and winch, built while restoring a model of Willie Bennett for the Deltaville Maritime Museum. It would normally be hidden by a cover, so the modeler left it uncovered and placed a toolbox next to it so that it appears to be under repair. The Palmer mfg plaque was affixed to the engine.
