L'habitant
All Hallows by the Tower, mounted model ship.

Beautiful, but mysterious. I could find no explanation for their presence. There are several large model ships in the church, most suspended in the south aisle; although this was mounted on the south wall. Pevsner describes them as "Curiosa".
The presence of ships on the south side of the church may be due to that side being the location of the mariners' chapel in the SE corner. More on the church may be seen here...
