It is a sailing ship that found considerable popularity between the 16th and 18th centuries, widely used for commercial purposes and due to its characteristics could be easily equipped to defend commercial convoys from frequent pirate attacks.
The term brigantine is of Italian origin and derives from "brigante," meaning "member of a brigade"-in fact, in the 15th and 16th centuries, the brigantine was frequently used as a unit for race warfare and piracy.
The brig was used extensively as a cargo or escort ship, and was very popular in the Mediterranean Sea and northern Europe.
Il modellismo navale nasce per motivi religiosi. Not content with the triviality of his own life, man wants another, and an eternal one at that, but the soul - by definition immaterial - needs a means to reach the afterlife; it must cross a river, and to do so it needs a boat. The earliest model is a sixty centimeter silver vessel found in excavations at Ur in Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq, and dates back to 2,000 BCE. Model making was reborn in the 15th century, again for religious reasons, but this time as an ex-voto, although the most important and valuable models were those built by shipyards: in fact, until the 17th century, ships were not designed with a drawing; length, width, masts, and rigging were decided, and then relied on a trusted shipyard who "by eye" built the ship according to the instructions received. In order to convince the ruler or minister who was to finance the construction, however, it was necessary to show him something, and to show him what the ship would look like, a model was then built, often a large one, and the better it was made, the better it responded to the marketing of the time; often the king fell in love with the model and kept it for himself, which is why many of these models have come down to us.
