A BUILDER`S MODEL BY BASSETT-LOWKE OF THE NORWEGIAN ROYAL YACHT NORGE (EX-PHILANTE) AS RE-FITTED BY HER BUILDERS, CAMPER & NICHOLSON, FOR KING HAAKON IN 1947, with laminated carved hull finished in white, blue and red with boarding companion ways, lined decks with painted fittings including bitts, ventilators, anchor winch and cable, awning stanchions, derricks, rigged masts, glazed bridge with over binnacle, helm, compass, range finder, radar and searchlights, motor launches and lifeboats in davits, wood-capped deck rails and other details, loosely mounted on four columns within perspex case with glass front with framed telegram from King Haakon to Camper & Nicholson applied to front. Overall measurements Ñ 36 x 71 1/2 x 12 3/4in. (91.5 x 181.5 x 32.5cm.) Built by Camper & Nicholson in 1937 for Sir Thomas Sopwith, the Philante was a comfortable motor yacht - and one of the world`s largest at the time, displacing 1,600 tons, 263 feet in length with a 38 foot beam and draught of 15 feet 5 inches. She was absorbed into the Royal Navy as H.M.S. Philante for the duration of the war, serving as an Atlantic convoy escort. Sold from service in 1947 to Norway, whose government had organised a public fund-raising campaign to purchase her for the hugely popular King Haakon. He had been promised a state yacht on his accession in 1905, but war and economic depression had conspired against this, but his defiant and popular opposition to the Nazis combined with his pending 75th birthday had brought matters to a head. Returned to her builders between October 1947 and June 1948, she was handed over to the King under the new name of Norge and he enjoyed her for nearly ten years before his death, with his successors using her seasonally every year since. Norge is now one of just two Royal yachts left in the world, the other being the Danish Dannebrog. This model is one of three examples ordered from Bassett-Lowke by Camper & Nicholson. One was presented to King Haakon, another to Tommy Sopwith, the last (this lot) remaining with the family. Provenance: George Nicholson, Camper & Nicholson.
