EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a cross-section of the fully completed inside of a vessel, providing a fascinating glimpse into the intricate world of shipbuilding during the 17th century. The illustration, taken from the Atlas de Colbert, plate 37, was commissioned by Jean Baptiste Colbert de Trocy with the aim to bolster the French navy and challenge Dutch maritime supremacy. The meticulous detail captured in this image allows us to study every aspect of this magnificent sailing ship. From its sturdy keel to its carefully designed deck and spacious hold, every element is meticulously depicted. The presence of naval ropes further emphasizes the complexity involved in constructing such vessels. As we admire this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when ships were not only means of transportation but also symbols of power and military might.
