Half model of a floating 32-gun artillery battery
The Royal Netherlands Navy converted wooden ships of the line into floating batteries, hoping to give these expensive vessels a second lease of life as artillery plat-forms for the defence of Dutch river estuaries and inland waterways. This model represents the battery Neptunus, which was fitted with 32 guns. The Neptunus was origi-nally built as a ship of the line with the same name.
