Description
This is a wooden, 3 mast, ship.  There is a rectangular shaped piece of wood that is painted red and black.  There are 6, square windows, 3 on each side, centered in the middle of the boat.  On the under side a thin piece of wood that is jutting out towards the rear and then is indented to the underside of the boat the length of the rectangular shape and then protrudes, up and outward in the front.  On the top of the block is the deck where rectangular, slotted blocks are glued to the side edges.  Just underneath these edges are wooden balls nailed to the side where the sails are tied.  On the rear of the deck is another ledge with a wall.  Behind the wall is a dowel with a small rope.  On the deck are 3 dowels that hold sails with string.  The center sail is triangular with a soldier head and axe painted in yellow, red, and black.  The other sails are square and have symbols painted in the same colors.  On the top of the middle mast is blue and burgundy flag.  The front of the ship pointing out is a platform and dowel above the lengthwise wood.  The entire ship is mounted on a smaller rectangular flat base.
