The Dutch
galiots were flat-bottomed ships with a rounded bow and aft, especially useful
in shallow waters. Their development started in the 17th century. They were used
mainly as merchant ships.
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 Dutch galiot is a beautiful, elegant and diligently worked. It is 1 : 40 scale.
Length is 106 cm, width 41 cm,
height 84 cm. The ship model stand is provided by two small wedge-shaped pieces
of wood beneath the hull, close to the keel. The wedges are fixed to the hull by
double-sided adhesive tape.
The model was made according to the drawing of a three-masted Dutch galiot by
Chapman in his 1768 book (see my linklist)
"Architectura Navalis Mercatoria", plate No. LIV (see below).
The price of
the model is 3900 Euro, plus transport cost.
Shipping the galiot 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.
