    1701 'ST. GEORGE' ENGLISH WARSHIP SAILING MODEL
    This model of the  Royal George of
    1715 is very imposing. Figures of fame
    and victory crown the whole; royal portraits
    and emblems, with sculptures in 18th cen-
    tury style making up the rest of the decora-
    tion, The  Royal Georges of the British
    Navy have many famous associations. At
    the victory of Quiberon Bay, in 1759, the
    master of Hawke's flagship the  Royal
    George, anxious about the dangerous reefs
    and sandbanks on either side, drew from the
    adiniral the words: "You have done your
    duly in pointing out the danger; now go
    and lay me beside the French Admiral!
    Hawke's Royal George was the ship
    which sank in Spithead while undergoing
    repairs in 1782, Rear-Admiral Kempenfelt
    and some 800 others being drowned.
