The French
frigate was described by Frederik Henrik af Chapman in his famous "Architectura Navalis Mercatoria", Plate
XXXI and XXXII (published in Stockholm in 1768, see my
literature list)
as an excellent fast sailing ship, suitable for hunting and capturing other
vessels.
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. (If you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator or Firefox, press F11 to minimize navigation bars and have a
larger screen with the photos.)
The model is a beautiful and elegant piece of work, built according to the
drawings of Chapman. It emphasizes the rigging and the
handling of the sails. The model is 1 : 80 scale.
Length is 80 cm, width 38 cm,
height 74 cm.
The price of
the model is 2800 Euro, plus transport cost.
Shipping the frigate 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
