Description
- Haut. 115 cm, long. 150 cm, larg. 50 cm ; height 45 1/4 in., length 59 in., width 19 2/3 in.
Condition
The photograph is quite accurate. The model is almost complete. The rudder needs to be restuck as well as the last small mast and two hatches (two other hatches and one window on the stern are missing). The fabric sails were possibly replaced, as well as the pinnaces. A little salpeter on the prow. Impressive model which would benefit from a gentle cleaning.
