Scale: 1:48. A sectional model of the stern of a single-screw frigate, depicting the method of raising and lowering a propeller. The model is made entirely in wood, using box and beech woods, with metal fittings, is of plank-on-frame, and varnished a golden brown finish. Several single planks are removed to show the frames beneath. Fittings include a single eight-spoke steering wheel; stern gallery with two pairs of three windows and a carved relief crown between the two sets; quarter galleries, each with four windows and garter stars on their aft panels; three scuppers on each of the port and starboard sides with two gunports above them; propeller; and a two-bladed propeller set into a frame that can be raised and lowered in the propeller well. When the propeller is in the lowered position, a wooden pin can be pushed through the deadwood that engages with the propeller, enabling it to be turned. The model is displayed on a mahogany tablet-like baseboard which has a slot set into the middle of the long side to accommodate the keel of the model.
