Description: | Scale: 1:48. A contemporary full hull model of the Rose (1706), a 20-gun sixth-rate sloop, built in the Navy Board style. Model is decked and partially equipped with a capstan and working tiller arm and rudder. At this scale the model represents a vessel measuring 89 feet along the gun deck by 23 feet in the beam and a tonnage of 200 burden. The ornamental `dolphin? supports are inscribed ?A.R. 1706? and ?B.R.?. The latter stands for Benjamin Rosewell who was the master shipwright at Chatham dockyard.
CA: AAA. Evidence of woodworm.
The sixth-rates were the smallest rated ships in the navy and performed a variety of duties. The dimensions of this model do not agree with the known measurements of this class, so it was probably made for presentation purposes.
New capstan, tiller and two beakhead brackets, three stern roses and baseboard by J.R.W in 1965.
