Warship (1725); Fourth rate; 50 guns

Scale: 1:48. A Navy Board full hull model of a 50-gun, small two-decker (circa 1725). The model is decked and equipped and includes launching flagpoles. It is based on the 1719 Establishment for ships of this type (see SLR0415), but its dimensions represent a ship two feet longer than usual. This might imply this model was one in a series made for design purposes.
