Description: | Scale: 1:48. Sectional model of the 'Caledonia' (1808), a 120 gun three-decker ship of the line. Model is decked and is one of two longitudinal half models which together forms a full hull model. SLR0120 is the port half, which depicts the method of construction in practice before adoption of the system introduced by Sir Robert Seppings. This is the starboard half, which shows improvements and modifications made by Seppings, about 1814.
This object was incorrectly marked and labelled as SLR0120 for many years, hence the confused Location history. It was correctly numbered as SLR2822 when the Ship of War Gallery was decanted in May 2014.
CA: AAA.
