| Description |
This model is part of our gallery celebrating the 50th Anniversary of State Records Providing adequate protection from potential attack by sea was a constant preoccupation for the colonial authorities, particularly during the second half of the 19th Century. One such was John Slater, ‘Mechanical Inventor’ of Howlong. Slater was clearly an enthusiastic amateur inventor, and keen to make it clear that he was also both a true Englishman and a good colonist. The government was sufficiently interested to reply, taking him up on his offer to supply further details. However, on receipt of the model and associated lengthy notes, the authorities decided not to take the matter further, after receiving advice from naval officers that the proposal was not practical.
