Description: | Scale: 1:48. A Georgian full hull model of a 20-gun, sixth-rate sloop (circa 1719). It is a rare example of a model fitted with sweeps for rowing. The model is decked and rigged. Although built on the scale typical of Navy Board models, this is an early example of Georgian models.
The model does not relate to a specific ship, but is representative of one of the fifth-rate ships rebuilt as sixth rates in the early 18th century, like the ?Blandford? or the ?Lyme?, which were launched from Deptford in 1720. Vessels of this type were approximately 106 feet long, 28 feet in the beam and weighed about 375 tons burden. They carried a complement of 140 men. They were armed with twenty 6-pound guns.
CA: AAA.
