    Among the rich palette of styles ship models occupy a special place model, made prisoners by the French sailors stationed in England during the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars between 1793 and 1815. In TSVMM stored three models from the collection of Konstantin made in this style. It is assumed that he had brought them from England in the years 1857-1858.
    Captured sailors held in offshore prisons, which were retrofitted under the old ships, old castles, forts and camps. The difference between plavtyurmami and beach camps were significant. The ships had no places for recreation, the prisoners lived in crowded conditions, they were not allowed visitors, and they feel forsaken.
    Most of the models was done in the camps Dartmoor (Dartmoor) and Norman Cross (Normal Cross) near Hantigdona (Huntigdon). The prisoners were receiving rations, varies from 1 pound per day for a regular sailor, up to 55 pounds for the ship's captain. In addition, they provide clothing and food, albeit in insufficient quantities. Captured sailors often sought to somehow improve their living standards. Most of the prisoners of war, with civil professions, engaged in various crafts. For sailors in captivity mainly craft was sudomodelirovanie. In the camps twice a week and sometimes more often organized markets in which the prisoners could sell their products, and used the money to buy materials for the manufacture of models, clothes or food.
    Bones - This material, which most often associated idea of the models created by prisoners of war. Daily diet of war consisted of half a pound of beef or mutton, including the weight of bones. The most common method of building blocks models was interior wooden dummy shell thin bony plates. The plates were obtained by sawing the bones thin saws, and sometimes twisted wire. Initially, the bone cooked in potash, buying white, but sometimes dyed of ivory, as part of ivory look more prominent.
    For this technology completed model 48-gun British frigate "PALLAS" ("Pallas"). Rigging is made in great detail, but the proportions of the ship's hull somewhat distorted.
