Scale: 1:48. A block design model of the ‘Blenheim’ (1745), a 60-gun, two-decker ship of the line. The number ‘28’ [previous catalogue number] is on a plaque on the starboard broadside. An accompanying label reads ‘P’, ‘56A’ and ‘Ship of 60 guns, about 1745. Catalogued (1923) under No.28 as the Blenheim, 90, of 1709, but obviously a much smaller ship. The Dimensions are those of a 60-gun ship on the Establishment of 1745. From the position of the channels below the upper-deck ports it seems probable that this is a general model for the class. Ships actually built to the Establishment probably had their channels raised above the ports’.

The gun ports are painted on the side of the hull in red. The figurehead is in the form of a solid block. The rough shapes of the quarter galleries are represented and have been painted with decorations.
