About this work

Truss model of a ship door with double keel, incomplete. On one side the ship door is completely finished, the other side is open. Three decks, and divided lengthwise into two compartments. Two small scuppers at the bottom of the closed side, the covers are missing. There are recesses for only one pump on each side. The model looks very much like NG-MC-991 and fits in its recesses.
