About it
A museum model of the Soleil Royal, a French warship launched in 1669 that was the flagship of the fleet in 1692, when she was burned in Cherbourg Bay after the Battle of La Hogue. The model was captured from photos and is drawn with splats.
Tap Labels (a button on the stage's right edge) and four numbered markers appear: the bowsprit, the gun ports, the frames, and the stern. Tap one to read about it while the view glides there; ‹ and › step through them. Tap the ship itself and it hops.
