The vessel is fully rigged with three masts and a bowsprit, featuring a complex system of black and white thread rigging with wooden blocks. Additional fittings include a painted figurehead, anchors with metal chains, deck gratings, and a capstan. The model is mounted on a stepped wooden display stand.
