Ship model
HMS PRINCE 1670
Scale 1 : 53,
length 118 cm, width 50 cm, height 114 cm
History of HMS PRINCE
The ship was launched 1670 in Chatham as a 1st rate with 100 cannon. She was
designed by Phineas Pett, a relative of the Phineas Pett who built the famous
Sovereign of the Seas in 1637. She took part in the
Battle of Solebay
1672 during the Third Anglo-Dutch War.
In the London Science Museum one can have a look at a
contemporary dockyard model of the
ship.

photos, description and dimensions
Please take your time to have a good look at
the set of photos. There are
several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions (11 photos
with 330 kB), and several closer views of hull, deck
and rigging (27 photos with 1.4 MB). If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high
resolution. Only these high resolution photographs show how much work and
handicraft ability were put in the model. (If you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a
larger screen with the photos.)
This model
of HMS PRINCE was made in the 1970s. It has been restored with love and care.
The ship is a fine and beautiful piece of work.
The ship is placed on (but not glued to) a flat maple tree board as stand. Alternatively, it could
be set directly on a flat surface
stabilized by a tiny wedge,
similar to this model of
the 1780 Royal Louis.
The ship model is 1 : 53 scale. Length is 118 cm, width 50 cm, height 114 cm.
This model has been
already sold. The pictures
and the data are shown in the
gallery of the ship models
sold only to let
enthusiasts and model makers enjoy the photos and
maybe get ideas or some guidance,
if someone builds such a model by
himself.
