William F. Rabbett was a talented woodworker and his hobby was making model ships from scratch. Supposedly he made one for each of his children. The end photos were taken by William's son, Dick, in 1936.

The middle photo is the ship that was given to William's son, Jim. Today, it has been restored by a professional and is displayed at the home of Jim's grandson, John Brouder, in Jaffrey, NH.
