Designed in the Yorkshire Wolds, this figure is crafted by modellers for modellers, reflecting a deep understanding of maritime life. The VIC boats, including the Vital Spark, were small steam-driven vessels ranging from 50 to 70 feet, constructed from wood with a double-ended hull for stability and maneuverability. They were versatile in function, serving as fishing boats, tugs, and rescue vessels.

Built in 1923 by Ailsa Shipbuilding Company in Troon, Scotland, the Vital Spark was a VIC 56 class vessel that played a significant role in the herring industry, essential to Scotland’s economy. These boats remained crucial well into the 20th century and are now celebrated in model form, allowing enthusiasts to preserve the legacy of these iconic vessels.
