Component model; Mast model

Scale: 1:24. A model of a jury mast showing its construction from various pieces of wood held together with a series of wooden blocks and rope lashings. The model has been stained and varnished and consists of four circular pieces of wood which have been lat into the square ends at top and bottom. At the top of the mast are a pair of cheeks to support the fighting top (missing) and the mast top has been squared off so as to receive a mast cap for the top mast. The lower part of the mast has been squared and tapers in towards the square heel. Inscribed "Invented by M Hookey Woolwich 1820 by half inch scale." There is also a label with the number "322". See SLR2483.1 for the spar.
