Entry

Wooden half bracket model of the starboard side of a three-masted ship, mounted on a rectangular wooden backboard.

The side of the ship is depicted by ribbands attached to frame moulds. The model does not indicate any details of the forecastle, whereas the quarterdeck is outlined by a single ribband with a square hance. The sheer rises towards both ends. One wale is indicated. The bow features an empty beakhead. The stern has a round tuck and a hollow counter. The model does not have a taffrail or quarter galleries. It has a straight square-headed rudder that is exceptionally wide. The hull is round. The position of three masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.

Scale unknown.
