You folks are absolutely right - I pulled out the wrong three-masted checkerboard warship !

Thanks, Roger. Casual perusal of Wikipedia (HMS Revenge disambiguation) and Spidernavy-shop.de (SMS Gefion 1848) confirms. An apt student hesitates to say the test question is in error, but ...
Revenge is Spidernavy SN 0.02 and is a steam-assisted ship of the line with funnel erected on the model. The model in the photograph is the Danish frigate Gefion of 1848, Spidernavy SN 0.11.
Dear Bob, your second Revenge is wrong! Take a look at your own website. Revenge 1859 was a second rate with 91 guns a not a frigate. That model seems to be a generic model of a frigate at about 1800(Langton?). And the Revenge 1859 had a funnel though this one could be lowered. But it would have ever been visible from above ;-)
