A 1:48 SCALE BOW MODEL FOR A 74-GUN 'COURAGEUX' ('LEVIATHAN') CLASS SHIP OF 1783-93
modelled by S. Seary from his own researches using plans and models at Greenwich, with carved wooden hull finished as appropriate, lined wooden decks throughout, cut-away bowsprit, head rails, catheads, chain plates, and bitts, mounted on a removable ebonised base with data plaque, overall measurements -- 22 x 19 x 15in. (56 x 48 x 38cm.)

This class was based on the lines of the French ship Courageux captured by the Bellona in 1761. The English architects lengthened the lines a little and so they are also known as the 'Leviathan' Class and included some of the most famous ships to serve during the Napoleonic Wars - Carnatic (1783); Colossus (1787); Leviathan (1790); and Minotaur (1793). This model can be easily removed from the table stand and suspended from a wall.

This lot will be available for viewing at Imperial Road
