Description
Photograph of model of a galleon sailing ship, ca.1900. At center, a small replica of a galleon ship is seen sitting upon a rectangular wooden stand. The wooden frame and deck is supported by a large lightly-colored hull. A small rudder is visible near the stern of the ship. Two large masts are visible near the center of the ship, one small mast is seen extending at an angle from the bow, and two smaller masts are visible near the stern. Various ropes, pulleys, and ladders are seen connecting parts of each mast to the deck below. Imperial flags decorate the tops of each of the four masts on the ship. An elaborate shield emblem decorates one of the sails on the frontal mast, while ornate crosses decorate the sails of the center mast. Small shield emblems are also visible near the striped lining surrounding the deck. Each tall mast supports three large sails. The two masts near the stern of the ship each hold a small triangular sail, and a small sail connects to the angled mast.
