The Wooden Model That Built England’s Most Powerful Warship

For over 350 years, this fragile wooden model has survived wars, empire, and time itself.
But the HMS Prince model was never meant to sit in a museum.

Built around 1670 at Chatham Dockyard, this massive Navy Board model served as a real engineering tool, a full 3D blueprint used to design one of England’s most powerful warships before she ever touched the water.

In this video, we explore the incredible story behind HMS Prince, later HMS Royal William, a ship that fought in the Anglo-Dutch Wars, served for 143 years, and helped transform naval shipbuilding from experimentation into science.

From the legendary Pett shipbuilding dynasty… to the rise of standardized Ships of the Line… to the hidden details preserved in the model itself, this is the story of how a single wooden model helped shape the future of the Royal Navy.
