Description
Photograph of a drawing of a sailing ship on the sea, ca.1700. At center, the darkly-shaded hull of the large ship moves through the ocean water. Two large masts are visible near the center of the ship, and a small angled mast is seen extending from the bow. Two large sails are seen open on the frontal mast, while two smaller sails are still bundled near the top of the mast. Two large triangular sails are seen attached to the rear mast.. A few triangular sails are also attached to the mast near the bow of the ship. Several ropes and ladders are visible connecting parts of the mast to the deck. In the foreground, the ship's shadow is seen cast across the water's surface.
