Summary
| Description |
English: Wooden model of two consecutive dry docks, with the building for the steam pumps next to the first dock, mounted on a rectangular wooden base.
The entrance has six rabbets for the open-frame model of the double-keeled caisson. The second dock is closed with lock gates. Part of the roofing of the pump house is removable. The entire dock and all the buildings have pile foundations. The dry dock at Hellevoetsluis was built by Jan Blanken Jansz (1755-1838) between 1798 and 1802 and equipped with a Boulton & Watt steam engine. The construction of this model was ordered by Blanken and it was donated to the Navy Model Room by Dockyard Superintendent Antonie Roepel in 1842, who had received the model from his friend Blanken as a present in 1837.2 A model of the pumping house is in the collection of the Maritiem Museum Rotterdam.3 Two drawings in the collection of the Rijksmuseum show this dock’s pump house (NG-996) and how a ship is docked here respectively (NG-997). Wood h 48.5 cm × w 316 cm × d 43 cm Scale (derived) 1:50.Nederlands: Beschrijving door Obreen:
Model van de twee achter elkander geplaatste drooge dokken te Hellevoetsluis. De inspecteur-generaal van den waterstaat J. Blanken, die de drooge dokken te Hellevoetsluis heeft gebouwd, heeft ook dit model onder zijn opzigt laten vervaardigen. Als geschenk is dit model overgegaan aan den Kapitein ter Zee Roepel, die het aan het Departement van Marine heeft aangeboden. Langen tijd waren deze drooge dokken de enige die de Marine ter harer beschikking had en nog altijd zijn deze uitmuntende bouwwerken de beste van die soort, welke zij bezit.
