Entry

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

The side of the ship is depicted by ribbands attached to frame moulds. The sheer rises towards the stern. One wale is indicated and painted black. The bow features a black knee, which supports the bowsprit. The stern, partly damaged, has a round tuck and a hollow counter. A straight, square-headed rudder is placed near the stern. The hull is S-bottomed, very slim towards the stern, and painted white below the waterline. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form. The mainmast is now missing, but a faint line still indicates its original position.

Scale unknown.
