Scale: 1:12. A sectional model of part of the aft deck of the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert (1845). Showing the steering apparatus for the double wheel. The model is made in wood and metal, and is patinated and varnished. The eight-spoke double wheel is supported on a wishbone-shaped brass or bronze frame and situated over the rudder head at deck level. The large drum between the wheels is wound with the steering rope which is then led through a metal block and sheave on deck, then onto another drum connected directly to the worming gear which in turn moves the tiller from port to starboard. The deck section is scored and varnished to resemble planking and the aft and side faces are vertical cream-painted surfaces. The forward face is angled and there is a stern rail with four turned uprights. The deck effectively forms the baseboard for the model and has four bun feet on which it rests. There is a handwritten paper label applied to the right-hand vertical face of the baseboard.
