Scale: unknown. This miniature model is entirely constructed from wood which incredibly includes the rigging and sails using paper thin shavings. It illustrates a typical three-decker 100-gun first-rate ship of the line. It is mounted on a hexagonal plinth, which is fenced including figures and finials on the corner posts. This is one of a set of six models (SLR0667-SLR0672) made entirely from wood.

During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793–1815), large numbers of French prisoners were housed in open prisons throughout Britain. Their daily food ration included half a pound of beef or mutton on the bone. Subsequently, the bone became a readily available source of raw material from which a variety of objects were crafted. Other materials were also used including wood, horn, brass, silk, straw and glass. Typically, the models were not made to scale as accurate scale plans were not available and tools were limited. To realize a good price at market, the models were often named after famous ships of the time, whilst some models included spring-loaded guns operated by cords.

The model has suffered some damage to the bow area and due to the scale and fragile nature of the wood, it makes repair very difficult without risking further damage.
