The next model is the torpedo boat S 67.
This model, published by JSC (Poland, scale 1:250), shows an old torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy.
These small torpedo boats of the class S 67 – S 73 were built from 1892 to 1896 at Schichau shipyard in Elbing (now Elblag, Poland).At the beginning for Wold War I these small boats seemed no longer to be suitable for torpedo boat duties (too small, underarmed and not seaworthy enough) . They were pulled out of the torpedo boat division and were transferred to mine sweeping duties.
S 67 was lost on August, 1918 by a mine hit in the North Sea (2 sailors were lost).
