Details
A fully armed and rigged three masted wooden shipmodel, inscribed Misticque (1760). 55 x 87 cm.
Together with a fully rigged three masted wooden shipmodel, inscribed Derflinger (1680). 75 x 80 cm.
An unusual Mediterranean sailing ship of the mid 18th century. Built in 1750, and armed with 18 guns, the ship was a modification of the classic style known as "lateen" because the three masts carried triangular sails. With the Misticque, it was possible to reach a maximum speed which at that time was almost impossible. The trapezium form of her keel was something absolutely new and even today this type of vessel is used to transport light commercial products. (2)
