Description:
This diagram shows how a half model is used to design a ship. This lift model is made of a number of lifts or layers of wood, pinned together. The model then is carved. After the model has its final shape, model is taken apart and the lifts measured. Vessels designed this way are usually said to be modeled rather than designed.
