Model of a Slip Hook for Lifeboats, Wooden model of a slip hook, painted gray, consisting of two parts: a staple, which is fixed with one eye in the floor of the boat, and a key with a eye for the hoist of the davit and a thick end. This can be done through the opening of the staple, which is reduced by a thickening leg of the staple, but a bracket around the other leg reduces the opening even further and clamps the key. Only when the boat is in the water and the tension of the hoist is gone, does this bracket fall by its own weight and the key is released. 1: 1 scale., Petrus van der Loo, 1857, wood (plant material), paint (coating), h 16.4 cm × w 8.6 cm × d 2.5 cm
