Good one Dave. :cheers:

 

                                     This ship is also named Quiloa. Launched in 1959. In 1972 she became the Michiel and was renamed again in 1974 to Great Justice.

I retouched the image to remove the flags. Have fun!

:champagne-2:   WINNER!

 

It is the Commerce de Marseilles, French 118-gun first rate, built in 1788 she was the first of 15 ships from the same design. Captured by the British during the Siege of Toulon. Although superior to the British first rates of the time, she was only used as a store ship in the Royal Navy then left to rot.

In the photo of the model, those are hammocks hung out to dry.

 

I also corrected my "1888" typo.  :blush:
