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. The upper gallery has an open balustrade and on the port and starboard stern quarters there are carved female figures. Four gun ports are shown on the lower gun deck of the stern with lids closed. A paper label applied to model reads: 'N.S.&F.Ex 389'.
