On deck it shows 12 guns (six port and starboard) three hatches, windlass, galley stack and aft of the main mast a raised coppola style skylight for the royal quarters below.
The vessel is on a starboard tack with her main sail semi furled. Has wood carved and sculpted water providing a moderate sea condition all of which has been painted with coats of artists oils, providing a sense of depth.
