Beautiful model Amy

A beautiful little model of the full-rigged ship Amy, as displayed in Stromness Museum in 1981. I believe she was built from old piano-keys by one Maxwell, a Kirkwall boatbuilder. Viewers may know more (or different).
Shot by available light through glass, my photo is far from perfect, but I hope gives a flavour of this little masterpiece.
