This detailed wooden model of a floating dry dock, crafted by 's Lands Werf Amsterdam between 1802 and 1815, provides a fascinating glimpse into shipbuilding technology of the era. The intricate model, measuring 63.8 cm in height, 122.5 cm in width, and 35.7 cm in depth, showcases the complex structure of a dry dock, which allowed ships to be lifted out of the water for repairs or construction. The model's craftsmanship and scale offer a valuable educational tool for understanding the mechanics of early 19th-century naval engineering.
