About the Item

Second half of the 19th century half-hull of an English schooner wooden planking nailed and mounted on ebonized wooden board. Good condition, board measures 100x 13x21 cm - inches 39.4x5.1x8.3. The half-hull, used to design boats, was the tool for shipwrights to see in advance the shapes of the boats or ships they would later build. Once the wooden block was shaped into the different desired shapes, it was broken down and the parts became geometric elements from which water lines were drawn that represented how the boat would become as a whole. Based on the arrangement of volumes and the ratios of the various parts of the hull, the following was obtained the table with the dimensions needed to set the framework of the vessel. Curiosity 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-true works of art-have come down to us and are all jealously guarded in the various naval museums.
