About this work

Two identical models of a chain stopper between two decks, consisting of a chute for the chain on a pulley and running through the port-side chain locker, and a heavy devil's claw hanging from a pulley on the ship's side. A wooden chain with fake weight is attached to the model. Scale 1:10 (estimate).
