This detailed wooden model, created in 1832 by the Rijkswerf Rotterdam, depicts a life-saving cart designed for shipwrecks. The model showcases the intricate workings of the cart, featuring a complex system of gears and wheels. The cart would have been used to rescue people from shipwrecks by launching it from the shore, with a crew on board to pull the cart through the water towards the stranded ship. This intricate model provides a glimpse into maritime technology and safety practices of the early 19th century.
