Ship Models

In 2002 Ken Thomson (1923-2006) announced his gift of some 2,000 Canadian and European paintings and works of art to the Art Gallery of Ontario. The holdings in the Thomson Collection date from late seventeeth to the mid twentieth century and represent a diversity of model style and ship type ranging from tugs, dredgers and trawlers to cargo vessels, passenger steamers, private yachts, corvettes, battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, destroyers and two aircraft carriers.
