Diameter 13 cm. Height 5 cm. Built in 1900 as the British cargo ship Lethington, it was captured by Japan during the Russo Japanese War and renamed Wakamiya Maru. At the outbreak of the First World War, it was converted at Yokosuka to carry French Maurice Farman seaplanes handled by cranes. During the siege of Tsingtao against German forces, its aircraft conducted the first naval air raids in military history, demonstrating the concept of carrier based aviation. Renamed Wakamiya, it received a wooden platform in 1920 to test the first takeoffs by wheeled aircraft. These trials helped lead to the design of Hōshō in 1922, the world s first purpose built aircraft carrier. Obsolete by then, the ship was withdrawn from service in 1931 and dismantled in 1932. Slight wear and patina should be noted. Condition I minus.
