Contemporary dockyard model scale 1:60 (unrigged), of a 1st-Rate 100-guns of George I reign, by Woolwich Dockyard, London, England, 1714-1727, and restored by Frederick Charles Ihlee, Paston Hall, near Peterborough, England, 1933-1938. It had been thought that the principal dimensions of the model correspond very closely with those of the 'Royal George'. However, comparison with the original Admiralty '1719 Establishment' specifications suggests that the model illustrates a projected design which was not later utilised.
