HMS 'Rattler' (1843)
Scale: 1:48. A contemporary half block model of HMS 'Rattler' (1843), a 6-gun screw sloop. The hull is carved from a solid block of wood(?) and painted a metallic bronze colour below the waterline with black topsides above, separated by a thin white line. The clipper-shaped bow is fitted with headrails and a plain beakhead whilst the flush main deck runs the full length of the hull and finishes above a small square stern with a carved quarter gallery and a rudder below. The whole model is mounted on a rectangular wooden backboard painted a creamy white colour and surrounded by a stained wooden moulded edging. There is a small plaque which is inscribed "HMS "Rattler", 5 guns. 888 tons. Built at Sheerness 1843".
