3 Ship models Royal William (1719) Model #1 Scale: 1:60. A Navy Board full hull model of the ‘Royal William’ (1719), a 100-gun three-decker ship of the line. The model is decked, equipped and rigged. This model, which is one of three full hull models of this vessel in the NMM collection, is probably a preliminary design as it differs from the completed vessel. It was re-rigged in 1925 in the Royal Naval Museum. The ‘Royal William’ was an early 18th-century three-decker, one of six first rates in the class of the largest warships. It was 175 feet long, with a 50 feet beam and weighed 1918 tons burden. It was launched at Portsmouth in September 1719. It had a nominal complement of 800 men. It would have carried twenty-eight 32-pound guns on its gun deck, twenty-eight 24-pounders on its middle deck, twenty-eight 12-pounders on its upper deck, along with twelve 6-pounders on its quarterdeck and four on its forecastle.
