Model of a Three-Masted Ship, anonymous, c. 1780 Canvas Print
Truss model of an exceptional three-masted ship with rudimentary rig. The skin is applied only to port. The most striking are the hull shape and construction. The hull is an angular S-truss with built-through keel, which is very thick from the front and narrows towards the rear. The foreship is wide and the hull becomes narrower towards the rear in a straight line; the stern stands on a high sledwood. The chamy is completely flat, the model has one bark wood. The sides go inwards above the bark wood. The ship is not built according to the usual skin-to-rafting method: the ship's wall consists of beams stacked lengthwise on top of each other, which are chamfered on the outside for the skin; only four single trusses hold the whole together. The wide, flat foreship has no galleon and an almost vertical stern. Flat mirror, hollow wulf and small fence at the end of the stern. The rudder is straight but has a round rudder king, turning in a hollowed-out stern; round, closed hennegat; the tiller is fed on the aft deck. In addition to this campaign deck, the model has one more, continuous deck. The rig is a three-masted polakker rig with standing mitten, which is rudimentary and partially incorrect. The fokkemast is the longest, the bezaansmast the shortest; bowsprit with clod wood, gaff and boom for the bezaan. No resting but putting irons that run under the skin to the bottom of the keel.
