"During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Netherlands grew exceedingly wealthy on the trade with Asia. The Dutch East India Company built an elaborate shipping network that was based partly in Holland and partly in the Dutch colony of Batavia, today's Djakarta, Indonesia. The Valkenisse was one of many ships that plied the route between Batavia and the Netherlands, carrying spices, porcelain, and other goods that would sell for a prince's ransom in Europe. This model may have been made as an aid to the builders who constructed the actual ship, but it was then probably displayed in one of the Company's offices in the Netherlands - a physical reminder of the great and sturdy machines that were making the stockholders rich.
In the 1990s, Rob Napier of Newburyport, Massachusetts, meticulously researched, conserved and rigged Valkenisse; he estimates that the process took him over two years of full-time work."
