b'This box, like most all of my other boxes, measures 12" X 24" X 11" and is built to the scale of one inch equals one foot. The construction of this box was particularly difficult because I wanted to show and illuminate the lower levels of the ship, the ceiling skylight, the views and sunlight from the port lights, as well as the details of the captains quarters themselves and the hold including the whaling equipment stored there. In addition, I wanted to construct the box in a way which would show the ship heeling at a 10 degree angle. This angle would have been the typical degree of heel on a close reach just off the wind. 138'
