1714820488Code 7910 Half HullHalf hull early 1900s of an English oak schooner. Very good condition. table measures 58 x 10 x 17 cm -22.8x3.95x6.7 inches.

The half hull, used to design boats, represented the tool for shipwrights to see in advance the shapes of the boats or ships they would subsequently have to build. Once the block of wood had been shaped into the different desired shapes, it was broken down and the parts became geometric elements from which the water lines were drawn which represented how the boat as a whole would become. Based on the arrangement of the volumes and the relationships between the various parts of the hull, the table with the dimensions necessary to set the structure of the boat was obtained.

Naval modeling was born for religious reasons. Not content with the banality of his own life, man wants another and an eternal one, but the soul - by definition immaterial - needs a means to reach the afterlife; he has to cross a river, and to do so he needs a boat. The oldest model is a silver vessel measuring about sixty centimeters found in the excavations of Ur in Mesopotamia, today's Iraq, and dates back to 2,000 BC. Model making was reborn in the 15th century again for religious reasons, but this time as an ex-voto, even if the most important and precious models were those built by shipyards: in fact until the 17th century ships were not designed with a drawing; we decided on the length, width, masts, armament and then we entrusted ourselves to a trusted shipyard which "by eye" built the ship according to the instructions received. To convince the sovereign or the minister that he had to finance the construction, however, it was necessary to show him something, and to show him what the ship would have been like, a model was built, often of large dimensions, and the more well made it was, the better it responded to the marketing of the time. ; often the king fell in love with the model and kept it for himself, and this 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.
