Stern Of SS Rifle 3D Model

2026-07-15

This is all that remains of SS Rifle, one of the earliest surviving examples of a small pre-fabricated screw steamer in the British Isles. Rifle was purchased by the Locheil Estate in the 1860s for use on Loch Arkaig, ferrying goods, passengers and mail between the isolated dwellings around the loch.

As well as being a practical vessel, Rifle was also used for pleasure, often carrying shooting parties.

The boat was laid-up in the 1930s, and whilst being scrapped, sank and lay buried until removed by the army after becoming a hazard to wartime vessels working from the pier. Rifle was blasted away from the pier, losing the bow in the process.

Despite being submerged for over half a century, it was raised in 1990. Although in a very fragile condition, Rifle's propeller is a well-preserved example of an early design.

The model was created as a part of ‘Scanning The Horizon’ 3D digitisation project.

We would like to thank RPS Europe their help during this project.

Download Caerlaverock Castle in various files formats such as Wavefront Object format, Autodesk FBX, DirectX 9.0, Stereo Lithography and HTML5 JSON format. Caerlaverock Castle stands largely complete and is amongst the foremost examples of Scottish medieval secular architecture. Its triangular-shaped curtain wall is unique in Britain, and the Nithsdale Lodging within, dating from the 1630s, is one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Scotland. Caerlaverock Castle was the chief seat of the Maxwells, one of the great noble families in southern Scotland. The castle is famous in history and literature through its siege by Edward I of England in 1300, commemorated in the contemporary poem, The Siege of Caerlaverock. It was captured in 1640 by the Covenanters after a protracted siege and thereafter abandoned as a lordly residence. Check out our Caerlaverock collection here.

WWII in various files formats such as Wavefront Object format, Autodesk FBX, DirectX 9.0, Stereo Lithography and HTML5 JSON format. The outcome of WWII depended heavily on maintaining a steady flow of vital supplies from the US and Canada to the war-torn Europe across the Atlantic Ocean. Therefore, for six long years, thousands of sailors, airmen and hundreds of warships, merchant ships and aircraft waged the greatest naval battle in history against the wolf packs of the German U-boats. The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest, most complex and certainly one of the most important battles to tip the scales of WWII. 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 76519 polygons.
