Model of Two Congreve Rockets with Launching Gear, Rijkswerf Rotterdam (attributed to), c. 1818 Canvas Print
Model of two fire rockets on a launcher or seat, for placement on a sloop. The missiles themselves consist of a pointed cylinder, the tip of which is the incendiary bomb and the rear part the rocket engine; on the outside of the cylinder a long stabilization pole is attached. The chair is a ladder-shaped frame with a walking ring hung around a mast, which stands on a round pedestal; with a fall over the disc in the top of the mast, the frame is hoisted and lowered for aiming and loading. On each leg of the frame is a beam with a metal chamber and flint lock mounted with a set of brackets. The flint locks have tractors with holes for a tractor rope. The head of the rocket is placed in the chamber under two brackets. The spark of the flint lock is ricoched off in the chamber by a plate to get into the back of the rocket.
