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 slightly towards both ends. Two wales and a sheer rail are indicated. The bow features an empty beakhead with two curved cheeks positioned directly on the beakhead, a beakhead bulkhead, part of a beakhead platform and a 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 a little sharp and painted white below the waterline. The position of three masts and the bowsprit is shown in a truncated form.
The inscriptions on the model are unreliable. According to Obreen only one ship was built after this model: the 74-gun ship of the line Admiraal Piet Hein, 195 feet long, built by Pieter Glavimans Jansz (1768-1850) in Rotterdam in 1810-13 and broken up in 1819. Another possibility is Admiraal Piet Hein of 74 guns, built in Rotterdam in 1806. Because of dry rot this ship was never launched and broken up in 1811.
Scale (on model) approx. 1:55.
