3rd Rate Turret Ship ‘Dauntless’ 1866
Scale: 1:48. A contemporary half hull model of the third-rate turret ship HMS ‘Dauntless’ (1866). It is complete with its original decorated wooden base and is rigged with stump tripod masts and bowsprit. This model illustrates one of a series of eight men-of-war as proposed by Vice-Admiral E. P. Halsted, which carried guns, and turrets as designed by Captain Cowper Coles.
Measuring 422 feet in length by 65 feet in the beam and a tonnage of 12,100 (builder’s old measurement), the ‘Dauntless’ was to have five turrets fitted with ten 9-inch guns, whereas the second-rate ‘Powerful’ had six.
