Maybe AR cut and pasted parts of the two boats to achieve the "Fram".
I think that's what he did, plus some details of his own. I can never understand why people seem to expect AR to use exact "models" for the boats, houses etc in his books. That is to downgrade AR, in the sense that he had no imagination and had to rely exactly on actual models or places. AR was a writer of fiction - he made it all up, superbly!
