Scale: Not to scale. A frame model depicting a futtock floor (pre 1814). The model is made entirely in wood which has been varnished. The component parts are annotated with paper labels marked 'Floor', 'Keel', 'Bottom planking' and '1st futtock' (twice). The model depicts part of a single frame and the two sections of first futtocks are depicted with stylised breaks at their ends. The frame is attached to a short section of keel and two short sections of planking are either side of it. The model depicts merchant rather than naval construction. There is no cross-chock uniting the first futtocks, and the limber channel runs just above the garboard planks. There are limber notches cut on the lower side of the floor to enable water to drain along the channel.
