The boilers feed steam to the steam box with two chambers one above the other: one boiler feeds both chambers, the other only the lower chamber. There are a few shelves in the rooms. The skin planks were steamed in such wood ovens so that they could assume the hull shape indicated by the trusses., anonymous, Rotterdam (possibly), c. 1800 - c. 1850, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), copper (metal), cloth, h 62 cm × w 107.2 cm × d 53.8 cm
