This model is intended to be distinctive enough so as to be easily differentiated from Ships of the Line on the tabletop. She makes an ideal vessel for any wargaming scenario requiring a merchantman.
“The Falmouth was commenced by Mr. Perry to Blackwall Yard (England) on the 22nd of August 1750 and launched on 14th August 1752 as show on page 27 of “Chronicles of Blackwall Yard” by Henry Green and Robert Wigram . The ship shows a close resemblance to a warship in sail plan and rigging, with the most up-to-date reef-points to her topsails The ship was equipped with a large amount of artillery, unusual for the trading vessels of that period. In that she was run along the lines of naval discipline was due to the fact that the vessel could sail alone without any convoy ship, since its rich load was a good bounty for all the enemy vessels and pirate ships.
This ship boasts detailed deck planking, modelled cannons and open gun ports.
