Scale: Unknown. A model of the proposed stern of a battleship (early 19th century) made entirely in wood with metal fittings and painted in realistic colours. The hull is painted black with two broad off-white stripes along the gun decks. The two stern galleries have been carved and painted to indicate the windows and carved and painted decoration.

A paper label applied to model reads: 'N.S.&F.Ex 389'.
