Description: | Scale: 1:48. A contemporary full hull model of a 40-gun two-decker (circa 1685), built plank on frame in the Navy Board style. Model is partially decked, equipped and rigged. The masts and spars are original but the standing and running rigging was replaced in 1939 by Arthur Waite, under supervision of Dr R.C. Anderson. It shows the unusual rigging detail of lower catharpins for drawing or `tightening? in the shrouds.
The model represents one of several experimental designs for a class of two-decker warships with unusually large dimensions for the period. At this scale it has a gun deck length of 123 feet by 34 feet in the beam and a tonnage of approximately 560 burden.
CA: AAA.
