Entry

Polychromed 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 forecastle and quarterdeck are outlined by ribbands with square hances. The sheer rises towards both ends. Two wales and a sheer rail are indicated and are painted black. The bow features an empty beakhead with two cheeks positioned directly on the beakhead, a beakhead bulkhead, part of the beakhead platform and a long bollard timber. 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. The hull is painted white below the waterline. The position of three masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.

The hull is rather sharp compared to other contemporary models.
