Scale: 1:48(?). A full hull model of a passenger paddle steamer named Queen of England. The model is decked, partially equipped, and rigged with three stump masts. The hull below the waterline is planked in natural varnished wood, and above has black topsides until the gunwale capping. The decks are also painted black together with the tops of the paddle boxes while the sponson gratings are finished in a dark creamy yellow. There are two brass funnels together with steam pipes and a single longitudinal deckhouse with wooden stanchions above. There is a large amount of carved decoration including a figurehead depicting possibly Queen Victoria, trailboards, the Royal coat of arms on paddle boxes and rope work, and a lion and nameplate at the stern. The deckhouse includes the doorways and panelling which have been painted directly onto the wood. It is from these features that the approximate scale has been calculated. The paddles have been built in metal and painted red and include fixed floats as opposed to feathering. There is a bag of assorted loose fittings together with a small hand written paper note saying: "cleaned and repaired, new starboard paddle box added, A J Barnes, Master Craftsman, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, Se10 9-1955". The model is mounted on its original metal crutches and wooden baseboard.
