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 model does not indicate the extent of the forecastle, whereas the quarterdeck is outlined by ribbands with square hances. The sheer rises towards the stern. Two wales and the sheer rail are indicated and are painted black. The bow features an empty beakhead, a beakhead bulkhead, part of the beakhead platform and two large bollard timbers. The stern has a round tuck and a hollow counter. The model does not have a taffrail or quarter galleries. Below the stern a straight, square-headed rudder is indicated. The hull is round and is painted white below the waterline. The position of three masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.
