This set of models represents the Royal Navy, Blomefield 1790, short-pattern (7.5 feet long), 12-pounder cannon weighing 1.7 tons (1562 kg).
HMS Victory carried three different types of 12-pounder cannon at Trafalgar.* She was equipped with:
- 12 short-pattern (7.5 feet long) 12-pounder cannons on the quarter deck (this set of models)
- 2 medium-pattern (8.5 feet long) 12-pounder cannons on the forecastle
- 30 long-pattern (9 feet long) 12-pounder cannons on the upper gun deck
All three types of 12-pounder cannon are available separately. All types feature a raised King George monogram.
Although there were minor variations among real cannons, these models' scaled dimensions and details match dimensions from tables published in "British Smooth-bore Artillery: a Technological Study to Support Identification, Acquisition, Restoration, Reproduction, and Interpretation of Artillery at National Historic Parks in Canada" by David McConnell. Their details were matched to those of surviving cannon.
