Sorry if I have posted in the wrong section .
First one is do you think its worth getting restored , broken masts and rigging , nothing else as it needs to be as original as possible.
its a folk art / sailor work tall ship circa 1860 ,
It was suggested by Military Historian - there's a reasonably strong likelihood that it is meant to represent the loss of the HMS Birkenhead. And the Soldiers and Sailors on the ship are portraying The Birkenhead Drill .
The ship is not in the best condition and is not much like the Birkenhead but he also said - Arguing against it is that she was also steam propelled and had paddle boxes. But this man was not working for Airfix making scale models or such like. He presumably would be passing time on long tedious sea voyages (or in old age). It was a massive global story of its day, so much so that legend has it that the King of Proosia [sic] had the story read out at the head of every regiment in the Prussian army.
The second one is ( well not sure ) its a antique Spanish galleon made from plaster and wood I think this is an antique tourist piece
Any help thanks
