The set contains 9 model soldiers comprising of 1 officer and 8 naval gunners plus 2 naval guns on truck carriages. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures. The pirate sets below have compatible loose parts for greater variety of assembled figures. Our reference period for the design of this set is the War of 1812. These models should also be appropriate for Naval landing battles for the entire Napoleonic period. There are two common uniforms for seamen in onshore service. One is the jacket, in blue, thus the epithet “Blue Jackets” for naval brigade soldiers. The other is the loose shirt tucked- in usually on fatigue duties. The queue was retained in the Navy for a much longer period than in the Army, which abolished it in 1808. Two styles of hat are observed, the flat brimmed hat and the narrow brim top hat. To better preserve the hats and to water-proof them, they are often painted with tar, thus the nickname “Jack Tar” for a sailor.
