Scale: 1:96. A contemporary full hull model of the 'Hawke' (active 1777), a revenue cutter, built plank on frame (?) using clinker construction in the Georgian style. The model is decked, fully equipped and rigged with a full suit of original sails set. The name ‘Hawke’ has been painted on the stern as well as on the original display case. It has not been possible, however, to identify a vessel of this name that fits the dimensions of 72 feet along the deck by 25 feet in the beam and tonnage of 180 (builders old measurement). However, the dimensions are approximately correct for a typical naval cutter of the mid-18th century, although it is fitted with more guns than usual. The rigging shows the arrangement and layout of the three square sails and their yards, which is the maximum that could be carried with a cutter rig.
