'Royal William' (1719)

Scale: 1:48. Perspective drawing showing the starboard outboard profile describing the decoration detail and figurehead for the 'Royal William' (1719), a 100-gun First Rate, three-decker. The drawing is unusual as it is a visual representation of an Navy Board style model of the 'Royal William', with the hull left unplanked below the mainwale to illustrate the frames. It also records the style and positions of the support pillars for the model.
