May give some insight into the relative size of the vessel in general. When I added the water and sky graphics I was trying to do the same thing - just trying to get a general feel of what she may look like in water. [ Edited Tue Feb 25 2014, 01:59am ] | ||

The caption below the drawing says, "Design for a tow-yacht by F. N. van Loon, 1838." van Loon was a prominent designer of ships in the Netherlands in the early 1800s. Unfortunately, the article in which the drawing appears does not discuss the tow-yacht, since its primary concern is shipbuilding literature of the Netherlands in general from the 1670s to the 1830s, and the only purpose of the drawing is to provide an example of van Loon's work.
