About this work
Waterline and construction model of a three-masted ship. The hull has no planking and consists only of the main internal framing. The model has four levels: lower deck, main deck, upper deck (half-deck and forecastle), and upper quarterdeck, none of which are closed. Stern with twisted transom, hollow counter, no details of the stern except the construction, no side galleries. The sheer rises slightly at both ends, with two wales and one sheerstrake. The model demonstrates the three-masted rig without sails, equipped with standing and running rigging; noteworthy are the continuous main and mizzen shrouds, and the mizzen gaff.
