HMS Pandora (1833); Warship; Brigantine; 10 guns
Scale: 1:48. A contemporary full hull model of the 10-gun brigantine ‘Pandora’ (1833), complete with stump masts, bowsprit, and mounted on turned brass pillars secured to an original wooden baseboard. The hull is fitted with a small female figurehead, a single windlass on the foredeck, hatches, companionway and a skylight on deck.
The ‘Pandora’ was designed by Sir William Symonds, Chief Surveyor of the Navy, and built at Woolwich Dockyard in 1833. Measuring 90 feet along the gun deck by 29 feet in the beam it was designed to carry ten guns. It was later re-classed as a ‘packet’ of three guns in 1845, and after a fairly mundane career, was broken up in 1862.
