History of the
ship type brig, a popular ship in the age of sail
A brig is a vessel with two masts. Brigs were very popular in the 18th and early
19th century, due to their speed and maneuverability. Both masts were
square-rigged. Brigs were used as merchant ships and, with 10 to 18 cannon, as
ships of war.
The brig
model,
photos, description and dimensions
This brig is
made as a waterline model. The ship is on port tack in quartering wind. The
studding sails are set, too.
Please take your time to have a good look at
the set of photos. There are
several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions and several
closer views of hull, deck
and rigging. If you click on a photo you will get that photo in high
resolution. Only these high resolution photographs show how much work and
handicraft ability were put in the model.
Viewing the high resolution photos: If you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a
larger screen with the photos. The high resolution photos are about 12
megapixel. So they are about 10 - 20 times larger than your 0.5 - 1.3
megapixel computer
screen. Most browsers by default downsize the pictures to screen
size, so you cannot see all the details of the ship models. To see the original
resolution move the mouse over the pictures and click on the magnifying
lens.
This model
of a brig is a beautiful and elegant masterpiece, especially in detailing the
rigging. It was built in the 1970s and has been restored with great care. The
ship model is 1 : 80 scale.
Length is 55 cm, width 29 cm,
height 49 cm.
Price of the ship model
and transport
The price of
the model is 2200 Euro, plus transport cost.
Shipping the brig in a crate by some
package delivery company can be done. Picking up the ship with your car may be a good way, too.
The ship model is available at my home in Recklinghausen. Please contact me, if you are interested
in the ship model.
