Entry

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. Above the wale the side is planked. A rail on stanchions is fitted along the entire length of the ship. The sheer rises to both ends. One wale and one sheer rail are indicated. At the bow, the bowsprit is supported by a knee; a knighthead is positioned next to it. The stern has a round tuck, a hollow counter and a taffrail. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull has an S-shaped bottom and is painted white below the waterline. The keel drops towards the stern. The deck is closed and detailed with hatches, a deck light and a pump. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form. Both masts rake considerably.

Nothing else is known about this model. The scale was derived by calculating its length in Amsterdam feet (1 foot = 28.31 cm).

Scale (derived) approx. 1:33.
