In 17th century the Dutch built small swift-sailing vessels as scouts
and dispatch boats, so-called
statenjachts. They were also used for
speedy transport of important people. They often were decorated and more
elegant than usual. By mid of 17th century the somewhat inconvenient
sprit sails were replaced by gaff sails that could be easily furled with
clewlines.
The ship shown here flies the Dutch national flag with the VOC of the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) at the stern, and the flag of Friesland as jack.
This model is a fine, beautiful piece of work that shows the characteristic hull lines and rigging of those ships. It has been restored by Mr. Rudolf Ferlemann with love and great care for details.
There are several views of the entire ship model taken from all directions, and several closer views of hull, deck and rigging. Click images to enlarge!
