This detailed half model of a screw steamer was created in 1868 by the Rijkswerf Amsterdam. The model, measuring 38.8 cm high, 189.8 cm wide, and 17.5 cm deep, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Dutch shipbuilding industry. These models were essential for ship design and construction, allowing shipbuilders to visualize and refine their plans before building a full-scale vessel. The model provides a glimpse into the technological advancements of the 19th century, specifically the development of screw propulsion, which revolutionized maritime travel.
