Model Of Bath-8u it Hi-Esmaro Now On Exhibit At Boston Museum Of Science
An intricate nine foot model of the Hi-Esmaro, built by Leegh Gibbs of Wellesley Hills, is on display at the Museum of Science in Boston. The replica preserves the original Bath Tron Works yacht built in 1929 for H Edward Manville and later served as the submarine carrier Niagara in World War II before sinking in 1943. Gibbs spent nearly 4,000 hours ensuring accuracy, using white cedar, white oak, India teak, Plexiglass, and canvas to recreate the vessel’s details. The model honors the romantic era of yachting and the ship’s wartime service as a symbol of beauty and resilience.
