Bomb Vessel
These were specialist vessels whose main armament was two mortars, usually 10ins and 13ins, which were used to lob shells into enemy fortifications. This model is of the Hecla, a converted merchantman, which by the use of removable bulwarks, was the first 'bomb vessel' to be able to fire its mortars horizontally as a broadside.
Set sails are photo etched brass except where stated. Furled are white metal..
