The Ewer of the Lower Elbe
An ewer is a smaller type of sailing ship from Friesland with a flat keel and one or two gaff-rigged masts, a flat bottom and leeboards. With two masts, the ship is referred to as a Besanewer. In the 19th century, the Ewer became widespread in the Lower Elbe and Lower Weser area and in the Netherlands and Denmark, and soon became the most frequently used type of ship in Germany.
There is the portrait of the Hamburg Besanewer “Courier” from 1864 (painter: HP Lüdders, Finkenwerder), which is built and rigged very similarly. The ELISABETH can therefore be dated to around 1860. On the stern of the model is the name ELISABETH and Blankenese as the home port.
