Entry

Construction model of a foretop, rounded at the front, supported by two trestletrees and three crosstrees. The decking is closed. The model is rather crude and similar to model NG-MC-160.

According to Obreen this is an old design.1J.M. Obreen, Catalogus der verzameling modellen van het Departement van Marine, The Hague 1858, no. 166.
