Historical Background
The windlass is a traditional maritime mechanism used aboard wooden sailing ships to raise and lower the anchor, as well as handle other heavy-duty rigging. This rotating drum device, operated manually or via capstan bars, served as a vital deck component that provided mechanical advantage during anchor retrieval—especially important in rough seas or for large vessels. The windlass was often located on the foredeck and became a standardized element of naval architecture from the 1600s onward. Over centuries, its construction evolved, but its basic wooden framework and gear-driven design remained a constant across cultures and fleets. Master Korabel’s model captures this evolution in simplified miniature form, paying tribute to an essential, functional, and often overlooked component of maritime history. Whether used aboard merchant ships, warships, or coastal cutters, the windlass was indispensable for safe anchoring and voyage readiness. This model lets builders authentically represent that vital aspect of nautical operations.
How to Use
