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. Ten shadowed gun ports are painted on the side, indicating one continuous gun deck, highlighted by a horizontal yellow band. At the forecastle and stern two raised bullwarks with square hances are indicated. The sheer rises slightly towards the stern. One wale and one sheer rail are indicated. The bow features a beakhead that ends in a scroll. 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 S-bottomed and painted white below the waterline. The position of two masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.

The 18-gun brig Panter, 31.5 metres long, was built by Cornelis Soetermeer (1782-1842) in Flushing in 1826.1J.M. Obreen, Catalogus der verzameling modellen van het Departement van Marine, The Hague 1858, no. 369.
