HMS Princess Royal Model!

[Ladorak]

Here's a model of the 98 gun Princess Royal, which was flagship of the van division at the Battle of Genoa, and Rear Admiral Samuel Goodall's flagship at said battle. I took this at the Naval Academy Museum today. Had NO idea they had a model of one of the ships I was writing about. XD

She was originally built as a 90 gun ship, but upgraded to 98 with the addition of 8 guns to her quarterdeck.

Wow, that's a beautiful model.

Indeed! It truly is! I was delighted to find a model of a ship I've been writing about on this forum at the museum!

HEY! I got to see the U.S.S. Constitution! Was truly an amazing experience, was quite different than what I always imagined.

Yes I worked on the USS Constellation myself for a few months last year, and visit it annually whenever I can. I've seen the Constitution, but have never been on it.
