Ship model  PEREGRINE GALLEY

The PEREGRINE GALLEY was built 1700 in the Royal Navy Dockyard at Sheerness in the Thames estuary. In 1716 she was refitted as a royal yacht in Deptford and was renamed Carolina. King Georg I made six voyages on her 1714 - 1726 to visit his beloved duchy Hanover.

The ship model stand is provided by two small wedge-shaped pieces of ebony beneath the hull, close to the keel. The ebony wedges are fixed to the hull by double-sided adhesive tape.
