A diorama of HMS 'Victory' afloat in Portsmouth harbour with a paddle steamer in the foregound, the whole under a glass dome. It was made of oak from 'Victory'.

A note from the maker William C. Barnaby states: 'This case contains a model of HMS Victory. The model is made from oak cut out by me with the broken blade of a hacksaw from a split in the timber of the continuation of the rib against which admiral Lord Nelson died in the cockpit below. I was a boy discharged from HMS Volage to Victory to await rating to Ordinary Seaman on attaining the age of 18 in February 1895. The Victory is shown against the background of the Gosport shore - where she lay moored in 1894. On the left is Fort Blockhouse, Haslar Creek, HMS Vincent, training ship, Camper & Nicholson Yacht Builders, Gosport, 'Hard' with floating bridge and half Perry, Lapthorne & Ratsey's sailmaking loft, Royal Clarence Victualling Yard with model of Royal Yacht Osborne in which Queen Victoria made her frequent trips from the yard to Osborne House. Extreme right shows HMS Bachante which made the trip round the world with the two young princes, the Duke of York and Duke of Clarence 1879-80'.
