Lions was the most common figureheads on english ships of the line in the 17th. and also in the 18th. Century, for the first thirty Years.
Past 1677 by Admirality Order, all ships must have a lion figurehead and only ships of the first rate was allowed to show a different one.
For all the want to build a model of an english ship of this time, I´m thinking it make sense to see some examples, because the apearance
of the lions had change in time.
I will show you original drawings, plans, figureheads of contemporary models and my model YORK. Like the leafgilding of the contemporary
models, my YORK was also leafgilded.
