This is a model of the Mortar Bed of a Bomb Sloop, made by Rijkswerf Rotterdam. The model presents a cross-section of the ship, rendered in a pale wood that highlights its internal architecture. The exterior follows a smooth, curved line, contrasting with the rectangular compartments and vertical supports within. The exposed structure offers a glimpse into the principles of naval architecture. Notice the rhythmic arrangement of the support beams and the modular construction of the ship's hull. The design emphasizes functionality and the efficient use of space, reflecting the practical needs of maritime technology. The structure becomes a language, each component contributing to the overall stability and purpose of the vessel. The ship's skeletal form invites us to consider the relationship between inner structure and outer appearance, between the hidden framework and the visible surface. Consider how such designs facilitated exploration, trade, and warfare. This model serves as a testament to the ingenuity and precision involved in shipbuilding.
