The schooner type - recognizable because of the fact that the aft mast is taller than the front mast - was used by the Dutch pilot service for almost half a century. In the west part of Holland these almost 25 metre long ships were replaced by steamboats around 1900, but in the north part of Holland these ships were in service until the late twenties. In those last period maintenance was poor. The last pilot schooner and its complete crew of fourteen was lost at sea in 1925. Dimensions of the model (lxwxh) are 217 x 39,5 x 169 cm.
