The hull is sharp V-shaped, with a keel and with a clear distinction between fore and aft, the top is sealed and equipped with a manhole and a pump, which is closed with a hexagonal screw cap. On the keel hangs a harp closure for the anchor chain, which can be put in three different places. The masts are staggered with four bars, which are executed in full-size steel, two in the front and two in the rear. The screens consist of two semicircles, which are placed in the plane of the mast and the baking stages. The wind vanes have a V-shaped cut-out and the bell is fixedly mounted while the clapper hits the bell due to the movement of the buoy on the waves. The buoys have a slightly different hull shape., Rijkswerf Rotterdam (possibly), Rotterdam (possibly), 1845, brass (alloy), model: h 21.5 cm × w 18.5 cm × d 11 cm packaging capsule: h 36 cm × w 24 cm × d 17 cm
