Although this Navwar ship was supposed to be HMS Union with 98 guns, there are actually 126 ports/guns on this model, no skid beams which all Royal Navy ships had, and generally did not conform to the lines of any British establishment SOL design. This is also true for most all Navwar British ship models. So, since there is little if any design information on Ottoman ships for the Napoleonic period, I have decided to make this ship and one other Navwar British SOL Ottoman ships of the line. I cannot find much information at all on these ships. What little I can find is on threedecks.org. Ottoman Imperial Navy ship Selimiye, 1797 – 1841, 1st Rate 122 guns, Crew 1200. Admiral's flagship in 1807 at the Battle of Dardanelles. Comparison shot with a Davco 112 gun Spanish ship. More at volsminiatures.blogspot.com

Never been a fan of Navwar's minis…just too crude. Nonetheless, you managed to make this one look good!
