Description: | Scale: 1:120. A full hull model of the ?Victory? (1765), a 100-gun, three-decker ship of the line. The model is decked, equipped and rigged and depicts it as it appeared about 1795.
This model, reputed to be of wood from the actual ship, was probably made in the late 19th century or early 20th century. It shows the original figurehead which was removed during the ?large repair? of 1800?03, but has the channels above the upper deck guns, a change apparently made at the same time. The rigging, with the old-fashioned mizzen yard and the recently introduced ?dolphin striker?, is of the same period.
