Warship (1800); Frigate; 40 guns

Scale: 1:48. A contemporary full hull model of a 40 gun frigate(circa 1800).
Plaque inscribed "125. Frigate of 40 guns, about 1800. Scale 1/48 (1/4" to 1')
An English design based on the dimensions of French Pomone, a prize of 1794, but not actually representing that ship, although the name Pomona (sic) appears on the stern, although the parts of the stern are missing and there fore there is no evidence to back up this name theory of the Pomona. The Endymion of 1797 must have been very similar. Dimensions: Gun Deck 160ft. Beam 42ft.". Deck detached.
