Component model; Frame model

Scale: Not to scale. A frame model depicting a futtock floor (pre 1814). The model is made entirely of wood. The crosschock is indicated by a drawn line on the model. The two first futtocks are shown with a stylised break at each end. The bottom of the keel has a hole in its centre for fixing to a baseboard. The upper face of the model has four paper labels applied to it marked 'Floor', 'Crosschock' and '1st futtock' (twice). This model shows typical naval construction. Note the gap seen above the keel. This would be occupied by the rising wood, which has been omitted from this model.
