Description: | Scale: Unknown. A half block model of the starboard side of a battleship made entirely in wood and painted in realistic colours. The model is damaged along the bulwark forward of amidships where there is a protruding battery placement. Although the model is in generally poor condition the damage may be deliberate and depict an actual occurrence as the area of hull immediately below the missing bulwark has a metal plate over it indicating repaired damage. The hull is painted dark purple-brown below the waterline with a narrow cream stripe above and black above the waterline. Fittings include a ram bow, portholes, rectangular gunports and a second, smaller, battery position close to the starboard quarter. The model is displayed on a backboard that has a shelve attached to its bottom edge. Both the backboard itself and the shelf have sustained damage.
CA: BAC.
