“THE GREAT HARRY,” pride of the Royal heart of Henry VII. This model of the famous war-vessel was made for the Auckland Museum by Mr. H. Boots, who was formerly employed in the Royal Naval College at Greenwich. It is one of a series which will illustrate the growth of England’s naval prowess. Others to be placed in the collection will be “Sovereign of the Seas” (1637), “The London” (1700), and Nelson’s famous “Victory” (1810). “Great Harry” is perfect in every detail. Even the sails will unfurl. Every rope is in its place.
