I had bought this figure head in key west. I did research and she is off the Brittania 2 36 gun rig. I wanted to know more information about her if anyone knows or is looking for her? It was part of the salvage fleet to save the Atosha after a hurricane ran it aground, upon the return of the salvage fleet another hurricane came along and put several of the salvage vessels aground including the Brittania 2. She is also reproduced ships figure head there is, we have personal knowledge that this one is authentic to the ship, the sister to her hangs in a British museum.
