Scale: 1:48. Sectional model of the bow of the Centurion (1732), a 60 gun ship. The hull has been painted white to the waterline. The two wales are painted black with varnished fruit wood above. Three gun ports and sections of channels each with three deadeyes are depicted on either side of the hull. A lion figurehead painted vermilion wearing a gold cross is depicted. There are two roundhouses and four heads. There is provision for a bowsprit. Two sections of the deck have been removed to expose the red-painted deck beams. There are two pin rails fore and aft of the provision for the foremast.. There are two catheads but no anchors. The model is mounted to the rear of the case which is glazed on three sides and the top. The case was made for free-standing display rather than for mounting on a wall. On the floor of the case, either side of the bow model sit two ship's boats. They are comparatively crudely made in comparison with the bow model, and not appropriate to the subject. A plaque is inscribed "M.R. 9755 wall piece model of bow of H M S Centurion 64 guns. Circa 1737.".
