Model of a Double Capstan, Model of a double capstan in a wooden frame that represents two decks. The upper capstan is for eight wind trees, the lower for ten. Both have four catches in the foot against walking back. The upper capstan has a hollow wooden king, within which extends the elongated metal king of the lower capstan, with two iron keys through the upper drum, the two kings are connected to each other, so that the two capstans become one. When the keys are removed, one has two independent capstans. Scale 1:10 (estimate)., Rijkswerf Vlissingen (possibly), Flushing (possibly), c. 1821
