Description
- Haut. 98 cm, long. 125 cm, larg. 47 cm ; height 38 1/2 in., length 49 1/4 in., width 18 1/2 in.
Condition
The photograph is quite accurate. The model seems complete. Some fabric sails are knotted so their condition cannot be checked but the others are stained (one is possibly missing on the last mast). Under the waterline, the boat hull is covered with tiny brass plaques (spots of salpeter). Very nice model with refined details.
