Billing Boats 1/15 Colin Archer R/C Capable (Expert)
RS1 was built in 1893 for the Norwegian Society for Shipwreck Salvage. RS1 was later named Colin Archer after its designer and builder. After 40 years as a salvage vessel, the ship was sold in 1933 to private owners, who added a small auxiliary motor. After 23 years in the USA, the Colin Archer was returned to Norway in December of 1961 as deck cargo on the freighter MS Tasco. Finally, on 21 April 1972 it was handed over to the Norwegian Maritime Museum. In 1973, responsibility for the vessel was given to the Colin Archer Cutter Club, which has since completely restored the ship and sails it. Today the Colin Archer is a welcome guest at vintage ship gatherings in Northern Europe.
