| dc.description | Detail of the low galleon with a lion with English crown as figurehead, under the bowsprit; This model shows the appearance of a Dutch warship in the late 17th century. It was made at the dockyards of Vlissingen (Flushing), where real warships were also built. (It was customary to build a detailed scale model). The 74-gun warship would have been more than twelve times larger than this model. The model was displayed in the council chamber of the Admiralty of Zeeland in Middelburg. The ship 'King William' took part in the battle of La Hogue (part of the Nine Years' War); but was no longer mentioned after 1712. The Department of the Navy transferred almost its entire model collection to Rijksmuseum during the 1880s. Source: Rijksmuseum [website]; www.rijksmuseum.nl/en (accessed 4/6/2015) | en_US |
