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. Above the wale the side is planked and painted black. The six shadowed gun ports indicate one continuous gun deck, highlighted by a horizontal white band. The sheer is almost flat. One wale and a sheer rail are indicated. The bow features an empty beakhead. The stern has a round tuck, a hollow counter and a taffrail. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull is sharply S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form. Both masts rake considerably.
