The following should be kept for reference purposes only; The model does not depict a particular type or class. It represents a vessel with dimensions of 162 feet by 45 feet and weighing 1430 tons burden. The gun arrangement matches the 1733 Establishment, but the dimensions are much larger, and larger even than the 1741 Establishment that replaced it. Its size suggests corresponds most closely to the ?Burford?-class of 1754, which was a modified version of the 1745 Establishment. The absence of gangways in the waist and the chainways above the upper deck gun ports also date the model as post-1745.
