Model of a Rudder with a Cap 1860

This wooden model of a ship's rudder with a cap, dating back to 1860, was created by Rijkswerf Vlissingen, a Dutch state shipyard. The model provides a scaled representation of a real rudder, highlighting the craftsmanship and engineering involved in shipbuilding during this era. The model is small, measuring just 24.5 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 2.4 cm deep. It offers a valuable glimpse into the tools and techniques used in maritime industries during the 19th century.
