This is a small model of a life boat, created by Joseph Francis around 1845 as part of his patent application. He patented the use of stamped corrugated metal to make boats.
Through collaboration with the Novelty Iron Works in New York, he began to manufacture lifeboats, military cutters, and coastal rescue craft, along with other marine safety gear. His sturdy products proved popular, and he sold many to commercial steamship operators, life-saving stations, and the United States Navy.
Francis is best known for one particular design, an enclosed rescue craft called a "life-car." It was extensively used in coastal life-saving stations in the second half of the 19th century.
